Alright, well I'm planning on purchasing my Tippmann A-5 Marker but I don't know which one should go for. I can either buy a Brand New Tippmann A-5 marker with a Free Tank at $281 USD or buy a Used Tippmann Marker w/ Flatline Barrel and w/ RT + Used Mask & Used 20oz Tank for $313. The problem is its used, though I'm not sure if it has any scratches or dents. I was thinking that I might as well get the used one and even though it has a few scratches because if I do get the new one its gonna get scratches on it itself. I already won the auction by the way, but I'm waiting for your guys opinion to actualyl complete it. Though I find its best to get the new one with free tank...blah. I don't know. What do you guys think? Links below:

i would say get the used one because tippmans are so reliable that you could buy it used n i bet it would pretty much work lik it was brand new even though it has a fe scratches

im cheap and poor(terrible combo) so i buy most of my markers used.

And tippmann will never have any problems so if its used, it will work as good as if it was new. And, you could get it with some upgrades.

Damn, looks like the guy had someone else buy it for more. I think I might just buy myself a brand new one with a mask and tank.
