what is a paintball gun worth?

[kermalou]

i am trying to get rid of my laptop desperately so that i can get a new one and then i get this email....

Hello my name is xxxx
I was looking at your Labtop on Ebay.
I own 2 paintball fields and 2 paintball stores.
I am selling Tippmann Pro-Lites for $250 each
w/ a BIG 20 oz. Tank( not the standard 9 oz.)and 200 round aftermarket hoppers. If you were interested
in a trade, I can outfit you with a complete
system/s. This is a good deal if you are into paintball. I have 47 Guns left. Please email if you do not sell. I will be willing to trade you 5 Tippmann Pro-Lites, 5 20oz. Co2 bottles, 5 200 rd aftermarket hoppers, 5 barrel plugs. This is $1250. Some one interested in paintball or a rental field will jump on this .Go to the official Tippmann website to view.

Let me guess: he will want you to ship first.

The guns are only $99.95 (used) above. All though they are used, I would not expect a brand new model to cost much more.

The problem with this trade is that you will have to sell the paintball guns after you get them. What you need is money, not paintball supplies. I would get cash instead. Besides, you don't know what condition those are in. They could be used rentals that are beat to crap.

you mean this POS ?

for 250 ?

some dude on forum is selling a Piranah Pro TS with a Storm trigger. Full Auto/Semi Auto adjustable.

for around the same price.

That prolite crap is prolly a rental.

Not even worth the Tippman 98 Customs.

You also have to add the tank and the balls and the barrels. I doubt it adds up to 250 but none the less. I still wouldnt go for it. You need the money.

pro-lites are decent..i would give em a $100 dollar each used value..and the extras hes giving u.. a 10-15 dollar per 20oz co2 tank...and like dont count the rest of the stuff..cuz its only worth a dollar or 2...depening on how much ur laptop costs.. this can be a good deal for u..but def get him to ship first.

Here he's selling it for 200~ which is an awesome deal

especially with the storm trigger CO2 tank and even paintballs.

The pro-lite is a couple generatios of Tippmann old. They released the pro-lite and the carbine about the same time (pro-lite is a little older), the pro-lite was REALLY popular as a rental gun. The carbine came out a little later, but it pretty much stuck with the rec-ball crowd (ie: people buying their first guns). Then, Tippmann released the Model 98, which eliminated the Carbine from the lineup. A short while after, they released the pro-carbine, which was a blend of the best features of the model 98, carbibine, and pro-lite. This was ment to be a great rental gun, which is what most people use now.

Bottom line, don't do the trade. They're old tech, probably abused, and not worth $250 each (they weren't even that much NEW when they first came out).
