| As long as teh person has good feedback, there isn't a problem buying a used gun. I do it my self all the time. I only buy used guns cause they're so much cheaper then new ones. |

Most are very nice. I think the main reason they're so cheap is because they have been used and the owner knows people wont buy these used high-end guns for very much. Sometimes people just want rid of them. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Just be careful of what you are buying. Make sure the person took care of it. Try to get as many photos as possible and ask a ton of questions before you buy. Such has: How old is it, how often did you play, have you repaired anything, how is it working, How much paint do you figure you shot through it. A team mate of mine buys used all the time. He bought a Timmy off a paintball forum. Thing was in real good shape and worked like a charm. -------------

yea off ebay make sure the person has 99.9 or better percent. check the photos to see if there is any damage to the gun. even e-mail the guy/girl to see if there was any injuries to it. thye are pretty good about telling you what is wrong with it ------------- 98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun.

You're an idiot. You know how many people have a 99.9% feedback rating? Not many. Other than that, your advice is sound. I normally don't bid on something if the person is below the 90%-92% range(depends what I'm buying). MOST IMPORTANT RULE: Always use PayPal. Any man's insurance. |

You're taking a risk if you buy off Ebay. I bought from a guy with 98% and over 300 sales. After I gave him the cash never heard from him again!  ------------- Work sucks... I've gone to play Paintball |

| Make sure if you order from http://www.ebay.com - www.ebay.com that you have pay pal and that the seller has great feedback. It's not worth losing a lot of money over. Make sure you stay safe while shopping there. |
