I found this add on Ebay.  The seller has 141 of these guns and wants 79.99 + 25 shipping.  I am new to this game.  Is this a genuine Tippmann 98.  Will I go wrong with this?

 

 

Brand New - NOT refurbished

Fresh From the Factory

Full 12 month Tippmann Warranty

 

 

All this is included for one price:

  • 1 Kameleon Model 98 Marker in your choice of Blue or Copper colors

  • 200 round Paintball Hopper

  • Allen Wrenches

  • Gun Lubricant

  • Barrel Plug

  • Cleaning Cable

  • Extra Tank O'ring

  • Operator's Manual

 

 

You won't find these anywhere else - Tippmann Sports gave me an exclusive purchase on these. They're very interesting - they change color depending on how the light hits them.

 

Tippmann made a one time batch of these colors as a test to see some alternate colors to black. After deciding not to mass produce these colors, they made them available to me as an Authorized Tippmann Dealer at a special price. I'm passing this deal on to you.

 

Please specify color choice with your payment.

 

We're an Authorized Tippmann Dealer

Not all of my previous post was legible.  Seller wants 79 + shipping.  Is this a genuine Tippmann 98.  Will I go wrong with this?

I am having trouble here.  Let's try again.  I am new to this game.  Is this a genuine Tippmann 98.  Will I go wrong with this.  Seller is a power seller, with good feed back, but this sounds a bit odd.

A picture would be nice or an item number.  So we can see the whole auction.

oh and you can use the edit button by the way and then select the text to change and click the "A" button with the color line underneath it to change the texts color

It sounds questionable. But if it's legit, DO IT. Model 98s are getting rare, and even rarer are the limited edition Chameleon 98s. They were powdercoated Chameleon from the factory, and I wouldn't mind having one.

$80 + shipping for a chameleon M98? If his feedback is good, I say go for it.

Found the item, don't do it, old school '98. If you're looking for a marker to actually use and not just collect, these won't do you much good. They require a lot of milling to put in after-market parts like the RT trigger and won't accept many of the newer upgrades.

If you are looking for a collector's item, then yeah, buy one, but otherwise, don't.

Not selling, just asking a question.... See F3lix, those of us who have been around for a much longer time know the difference, so please don't bump long-dead posts to try and make yourself sound smart or important.
