| How much would i get if i sell my A-5 with AA barrel and double trigger. It is lightly used, probubly 3500 to 4000 paintballs shot from it. Really neat. How much should i ask to buy my friends cocker for(has a ion now). It is neatly kept in a case. saw it in action and really good. It leaked air but he tightend somehting and it worked. And should i keep the A-5 or sell it? |

just up the A-5 for awhile. Go for e-grip, JCS double trig and Flatline. I love mine it works great so ya just keep the A-5 for awhile and then go straight to high end guns for your next marker. Vote and post on my Threads! theyre under my username of course! ------------- My guns name is Mr. Max in remembrance of my dog that got hit by a car: Tippmann A-5 Ricochet R-5 JCS double Trigger Tippmann E-Grip Flatline Barrel Do you have the need for speed? |

As for selling your A-5, you could get maybe $200 max, probably less
(trust me, I'm trying to sell my A-5 and it has alot more stuff on it
and I'm gonna be lucky to get $250). I say go for the cocker, some people really like the A-5, I personally am not one of them. Don't get me wrong, it's great, I just don't like it. Since it's your friends cocker, see if he'll let you play with it for a day. You know, test it out, see if you like it better than your A-5. If so, and assuming it is a bone stock 04 vert cocker, offer him about $200-$250 for it. I say try and sell your A-5 and get the cocker. ------------- http://profile.xfire.com/kentuckyfriedgangsta">

I only play speedball, mainly because noone likes playing in the woods where i live(so stupid). They say it takes to long and uses to much paint. And i probubly wont put anymore money in my A-5. Cause most guns come stock with stuff i wanna put on it, and i dont really like the A-5, so why keep it against your will.? -------------

From your post it seems to me as the prostock is the way to go. I
agree about not putting anymore money into the A-5. You may also
consider and Ion, since it will be much faster, stock, than the cocker.
As far as why I still have my A-5, I'm dead broke, and can't afford a new gun. I am trying to sell it and start saving for a new gun. ------------- http://profile.xfire.com/kentuckyfriedgangsta">

I agree as well don't dump more money into the A-5 to try and make it a speed-ball gun because it never will be. The feel is just different than lets say a BKO. I rented a BKO the last time i went to a pay field and the feel was so different than my C98. It's so light, compact. Snap shooting was sooo nice witLikeh the BKO. I agree with Random borrow your friends marker the next time you paly and see if you like it. -------------
