Well me any my friend started a 2 man team for a tourny, which we participated in like 4 times and won 2/4 we both had the same setup, hence our team name being "Double Vision" we had the same everything, so it was very hard to tell us apart, he had the same gun as me,

• A-5
• E-Grip
• Collapsable Stock
• Dop Pro-Style Drop Forward
• Adapter Block
• lapco Snapshot
• Palmers Male Stab
• LP kit
• Bob Long 600 psi mini gauge
• Custom trigger mod

but, we finally decided to disband, because the tourny stopped occuring, we won the last year they held it, but we are splitting up , I am staying with my A-5, but he wants to get a new gun. He was curious how much he could get for his A-5, and if he should get:

• WorrGames 2004 Autococker Vertical Feed
• Halo B
• Dye ultralight Barrel (12")
• 48ci/3000 Pure energy HPA tank
• And a Redz 47 ci tank cover, ( it was the only one we found, will it fit his 48ci tank ok?)

All for like $690.00 (including tax and S&H) , is this a good deal, if not, what should he look into getting, that's in that price range.

P.S. He doesn't want a Tippmann anymore, so don't say a new Tippmann.

Well...lets see.

First, I'm not much of a Cocker expert, but I know there are a few of those vert. feeds around our field, and they seem to do nicely.  Halo's are always good.  Good barrel, and im pretty sure that that cover will fit...I mean, its just a small scretch, you would THINK that it would fit, right?

Other choices he has are...

Used markers
Impulse 
2k4 Bushmaster
BKO

There are a few others that fit into that price range, but not after having to buy an expensive hopper and tank.  Just tell your friend to look at different paintball online stores, check reviews, and let him pick what he thinks will work. 

As for the A-5...possibly 400-450 bucks is what Im saying.  That looks to be a very expensive marker, but if it wasn't for the fact that Tippmanns don't resale very well....well, you know how it goes.

See if you can find some locals that are interested in it.  Sometimes you can get a higher price off of it then.
