I was wondering...after doing some searching on ebay, google, etc, I was wondering what you ppl thought about a price regarding some equiptment, ie, whether it is too much or a good deal.  I was looking to get an A5w/ Egrip which a place by me sells for $300 plus 6% tax and a 68ci 3000 fibre wrapped N2 tank for like $175 plus the 6% tax.  I know there are places online that will ahve those for a little cheaper, but then i would have to be shipping, unless buying online would save me massive amounts of $, i was probably going to buy from my local pro shop.  I figured i would get some input before i just go there with like $500 and say gimme dis.

175 for a 3k tank sucks. Get a crossfire 4.5k for 192.

I am probably going to go w/ the a5... i would definatly have to be able to run co2 through my marker (i hear co2+ion = not good) sometimes (ie when im playing in da yard and run out of n2) Right now, I am trying to decide what I should get... From what i hear, a stock a5 can shoot pretty fast w/out any upgrades. so i was maybe thinging of just getting the basic a5 then upgrade to the egrip if i feel it necessary (seems really easy to install).  I'm not sure what I should do about nitro though.. i know I probably do not NEED it but idk, maybe ill look into getting a steel tank in order to save some $$$.

ok, you said your getting HPA, so why not get an ion?

Basic A5s dont have any firepower in it.  Its a mech trigger pull=no walking,

and thats not the greatest price for a 3000 tank, id say get a used tank for like $100-68/4500

I will be getting HPA, but I would have to be able to run co2 through it.. when im at a field id probably use hpa, but for playin around in the yard or something (which i do quite often) i would need to run co2 until i could  get the nitro filled (which could be a while)
