Yeah, I forgot to mention, resale on Spyders suck, no one'll give them a chance.

You could maybe get $50 out of a stock imagine. If it's in good condition.

But you can't even compare the Ion to the Spyder. One's an electropneumatic, the other's a sear-tripper. Plus, Spyders can run on CO2 and a cheap electric hopper (unless you get like the T-board and stuff). That by itself is gonna cost an extra $150 or so for the Ion. Spyders and Tippies = ultimate beginner and tinkerer gun.

Hey, a cheap mech Spyder like a Victor is only $40...

That would be perfect.

I see a Spyder thread! And thanks for the plug, Styro, but I'm still in the process.

What year is it? The '03 model? that's what I've got. It's the more "tubey" lookin' one. Anyway, you can do great things to a Spyder, with time and patience.

Included are:
-feedneck
-hammer
-bolt
-grip frame
-grips
-boards
-eyes
-barrel
-valve
-volume chamber
-front block
-trigger
-ASA/drop
-springs
-microswitch
-sight rail (or lack there of)
-anno
-or even a whole new body

If you really really want a good Spyder, you can Spimmy it. Picture a morph between a Spyder and Timmy. As much as people don't want to admit it, Timmies started out as beefed up-pneumatic Spyders. Heck, Spyders is what got Bob Long into the major paintball tycoon he is now. He started out manufacturing replacement parts for Spyders.
