My friend has an WGP autococker with many accessories including:

9oz CO2

VL (i think) Quantum loader

4+1 harrness

JT Thermal Goggles

He says its worth well over $200 dollars and I'm trying to buy it off him but he won't sell it for less than $225

So im just wonderin if anyone thinks its a good deal or if im getting ripped off?

All those accessories sound pretty crappy for the price. What 'cocker is it? If it's a Trilogy, slap him for me.

Your friend talks too much... but that quantum hopper is probably the worst electric hopper in the paintball market... I might take a gravity feed over one of those.

The 9 oz CO2 is pretty much the cheapest refillable tank you can get for a gun.

I'd bet the harness sucks too (just a guess, considering the rest of his cheap accessories).  Or is in bad condition.

The mask ain't horrible just as long as it's in good condition.

It all depends on what type of auto cocker it is and what type of upgrades he's got on it!?

Not worth $200. You need to talk him down into the $140 range or lower.

Wow, $225, what a rip-off. He basically described an autococker trilogy pack you can buy at The Sports Authority. Most of the components of kit are garbage, as are the pieces described. A gravity fed hopper feeds equal if not better than the Quantum Loader.

I would say maximum price you should pay is 120 dollars.

Overpriced, regardless of whether it is a Trilogy - unless there are a bunch of other upgrades he didn't mention.

The quantom is completely useless.  I had one and outshot it with a completely stock 98... ended up going back to the good old shake and bakes.

Yeah... just say no to the kit.

Go to PbN and get a really nice 'cocker for that price.

Your friend is definitely ripping you off...although it appears he got ripped off too.

QFT

A friend of mine ran tests b/t the Quantum and a gravity fed hopper and the gravity fed won the majority of the time.
