Experiences with a Spyder EM1

[68Classic]

A kid that lives around me is selling an EM1 for $150. Of course I'm not replacing my mag, I'm just going to use it as a back up. I was wondering if anyone has shot an Em1 and if it is any good.

Its basically a tribal/impy/bushy in a different package. I say go for it if its in good condition, but beware, its hard to find replacement parts and such for them.

i dont know how they perform but ive seen some crazy things done to them with angel grip frames and new boards and such being added to them

[hAppy]

they ARE BKOs pretty much

Do they perform well? What are some pros and cons.

[ASDadam]

Yes they perform well. I have a friend who has one and swears by his. They're a great electro and not TOO bad of a deal for 150....

Actually, I'm pretty sure that is a terrible deal for $150. They were selling them back when they were getting rid of them for under $100. I'd offer him $100 even, and that be the highest I'd go.

Heres the stickler. What does it come with? If it comes with a decent barrel and drop it IS a good deal for 150.

I had an EM-1 for about a week. It had the most god-awful electronic trigger I'd ever touched my entire life.

Although for $150, if it's got some accessories, I'd pick up another one. :)

Gah, I hate linking to another forum... But so long as you know i'ts crap when you buy it, you won't be suprized when it poreforms that way. :-)

here's the em1 thread from pbn (http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?threadid=254503)

$150 is a sane price for a complete marker. I wouldn't go higher. And you'll still get better preformance out of a eframe spyder.

Did they make an EM1 with a double finger trigger frame? I have only seen them with a single.
