So, I bought a used 98 Custom that had an Apex barrel on it, and I really don't like or want it. I was curious as to what the resale value is of these. I don't want to sell it for a super good deal to someone, but I also don't want to have a super high price on it as well. Any help is greatly appreciated. ------------- In the broad spectrum of bad ideas I think this would have to rate somewhere between running with scissors and sticking your pecker in the toaster. |

I'm just going to wish you good luck. I'm beginning to think that Apexs are a dying fad. Of all the people I know that play and purchased them only one of them liked his enough to still be using it. Of course, I could say the same thing for Flatline barrels as well; I'm the only person I know who still uses one of those occasionally. If I was you I'd watch places with buy/sell/trade forums and e-bay and see if you could get an idea what they are going for. Again, good luck. -------------

I thought the same thing. About a year or so ago, the pricing dropped from $80-90 to about $40 or so. Now I see them selling new for $35.00. I thought maybe a newer version or something was coming out, but nothing ever did. As for pricing, I usually figure about 1/2 of what you have into it for Tippmann related parts unless they are ultra rare like GTA E-bolts, or FA's. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

Yeah, I just realized after I posted this that I should've checked ebay. Like oldpbnoob said a lot of them were around $35 or $40. I might hang on to it, and see if they get more valuable in a few years, or keep it as a spare backup... ------------- In the broad spectrum of bad ideas I think this would have to rate somewhere between running with scissors and sticking your pecker in the toaster. |

Apex are only good if you put them on a good barrel. The Stock Apex barrel is the worst in paintball think the old rough Model 98 Unfinished barrels were better.
I love mine with a 8" Lapco Bigshot barrel. -------------

I have no idea what kind of barrel it is on. It looks a little better than my stock 98C barrel, but not real fancy. It shoots nicely, but I just don't really need it... ------------- In the broad spectrum of bad ideas I think this would have to rate somewhere between running with scissors and sticking your pecker in the toaster. |

I'd only use mine if we played on a field that had some kind of bunkers. The drop-shot effect is the only redeeming value for that barrel tip. -------------
