Model 98 or Look Elsewhere

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Iv'e played Paintball numerous times with friends but i have yet to buy
a gun... Ive just borrowed from other friends. Now that im gunna start
playing more my friend wants to sell me his 98 Custom with an 18"
barrel , an air tank, and an old hopper for $350. (I can find the exact
gun for $150 online) Is that a good deal, or even a good gun or should
i just look else where for other types of guns? 

Basically: Is the gun just too old and is 200$ good for a barrel and tank?

	That's pretty pricey. What kind of air tank, barrel, and hopper is on it?

	Yeah, we need to know what kind of tank, barrel, and hopper's on it. If it's a HPA tank and a good barrel and hopper then it might be a good deal.

	That is way overpriced, unless it is a very nice tank/hopper.

	If its HPA, a stiffi and a revvy then its a decent deal. I would still go for a A-5 similar to the one in my sig or a ION.

	He's ripping you off unless it's a nitro tank and a really expensive barrel.

	that is a lot of cash, but a tippmann is a nice gun. try to get it cheaper tho. you can customise the crap out of a tippy and embarass the guys who have a shocker...

	dont do it, for $350 you can get a 98 custom pro responce(199.99) freek junior kit(69.99) nice hopper(egg~~60) so far that totals to 329.98 and you have enough money left over for 2 factory reconditioned 20 oz co2 tanks from www.firstcallpaintball.com
