Not bad for $82 shipped, minus reg. Thoughts?

That was my initial reaction. $70 without the reg plus shipping. Turns out I paid too quickly, too. I could have got shipping a little cheaper, but I paid too quickly. I still don't think I can complain. I've got a new gen Torpedo reg I'm gonna throw on there. Should work nicely.

I'm guessing he does not have it yet since it was bought a bit over an hour ago (or that's at least when it was labeled sold).

It's what I do, mang. Naw, I ain't got it yet, so I may be jumping the gun, but it is Moose I'm dealing with, so I'm confident there won't be too many issues. :)
Edit: I'll get a family photo when it gets here. :)

Yeah, I've always liked Freestyles, but I don't think I'm gonna regret this thing. Especially for the price...
Edit: Sinister, I put the VLM back together. I just liked that green machine. I may just put a pump kit on my Ripper, color it and call it a day.

Cool, sadly I don't really know anything about Indian Creek markers.
Looks good.

I used to be obsessed with Promasters. They're so cheap and they Shoot
quite nice.

Well, I got it in! All I've got to say is, HOLY CRAP. At $82 this thing wasn't a steal, it was robbery! I almost feel bad for buying it! Toss on my Torpedo reg and OTP barrel kit, and this thing is NICE. The seller even tossed in 2 lightened hammers and a Supafly bolt! Unfortunately, the bolt is for the original Promaster, so it won't fit properly in this one (without looking slightly ghetto), and the stock bolt seems just fine, so I won't worry about that. The lightened hammer is great on kick though! Up next is probably gonna be the more efficient "eBay" valve.
I don't know if I really want to sell this one. I'll probably just keep it, as I'll most likely need a semi with my Dux.
Seriously. I'm GLAD I bought this. I was toying with the idea of buying an Ion. Glad I didn't now...

Yeah, just keep this one. At $82, there is no reason to sell it.

I wouldn't think it'd be worth it. My dad uses a LPM, and its bone stock. After a little lubing and tuning, I have it competing with my Angel. I was really amazed by it, its a great gun for the money. If you keep it, I'm sure you'll enjoy it for when you use semi.

I've decided I'll be keeping a semi to accent my Dux (and for final battles and paint-burner matches ).
Now I'm just debating between my AKA VLM 'cocker (a very smooth slider mech) or this thing. Strictly performance, this. For the soul, the 'cocker. So performance or soul?
