I'm quite the seller on Ebay and personally I would never put a reserve on anything...it may scare you to not put one, but if it starts low enough and gets enough attention the last minute of the auction will become a feeding frenzy. Not to mention you will get charged less from Ebay for a lower start price.

I put an entire case of my old camera equipment on ebay when I went DSLR and started it at $20 no reserve. It scared the hell out of me, when I saw with less then a day left it was only bid up to $80, but in the last 5 mins it raised to $450 because of all the watchers it had.

One more thing I noticed with your auction is the picture quality, Believe me the better the pictures the higher the bids, Because people think you are tring to hide something in the blurriness. My Fiance, who is also a seller, has me take all of her product pictures because she notices the difference in attention her stuff gets.

p.s. you spelled scenario wrong in the title which wont help your hit count any.

Hope this helps

The problem with Tippmanns, and one that every experienced Tippy knows all to well, is that nobody really buys a high end Tippy. You WON'T get back what you put into it. I've seen fully decked out tippy's sell for way less than a stock one. That's why if you're serious about paintball (or more importantly, speedball), and want to up your Tippy alot, people say to save your money and buy an ion or something. 
Ref: I want a nice clean game
player: but it's paintball!

Or you could just sell the parts individually...

Ok, I see from your eBay page that you are willing to take trades of airsoft or ATS guns. By ATS do you mean the clip-fed ones that are advertised on GetRealPaintball.com? Because if you are, and you want to stick with the MilSim genre of paintball, you may or may not be in for a rude surprise. Anyone who has heard of ATS or GetReal will likely tell you to stay away from them, especially if you're either a novice or don't have much patience. The chain-driven, clip-feed mechanism is very tempermental and although it adds to the marker's novel design, also acts as its Achilles heel. Here is what I'm talking about:

[used to be my sig btw]

My co-Captain still has his AT85 and has never used it in a scenario game. I have also seen countless ones at scenarios along with the look of frustration beaming through even the most tinted lens on a paintball mask. Did I mention how you have to adjust the velocity through the barrel? [IIRC]

Sorry for the windbag post, but if you're looking to stay in 'SCENARIO' paintball and want a reliable marker that has the capabilities to look 'MilSim'd', stay with those who can do it reliably - Tippmann. Or even get these:


A Minimag with a Carbine body sold on eBay [might be sold already]


Or even this Spyder E99 in a P90 body [search on eBay again]

Good luck with your plans...

Sorry to hear that you had to relist; that always sucks. I hope the guy at least paid you listing fees. Good choice of wording to entice a lot of searches: scenario, tactical, sniper etc.
