Whatever someone is willing to pay for it. I would say a reasonable price would be between $300 and $400 depending on the shape it's in and how badly you want to be rid of it.

I am trying to buy one from a guy, it is not in pristine condition by far, but it does come with a holster. I am trying to convince him to trade it for my cycloned, RTed, CAR stocked 98c with 14in tippmann "sniper" barrel. I say that my 98 is worth 200-250. So based off a sydarm worth of about $300 is it reasonable to ask him to let it go for 250 due to the fact that it is not in that great condition?

Nope. Personally, I don't think that's a fair trade. While I understand that you have spent a good deal on $$ to get the 98c where it is today it is not worth your estimate on the open market (again just my opinion). There are a TON of Tippmans out there and there are not too many Sydarms. If it was me and I wanted the Tippman I would be looking for about $100 cash to make the deal equitable.

Again this is just my opinion.

even considering the sydarm is a bit beat up?

What does a bit beat up mean? It's a mag how much damage could there be to it. My Sydarm ahs been to hell and back and looks none the worse for wear. I have seen a few sydarms sell and even the worst looking one has sold for over $300.

I just traded my sydarm for about $600 retail worth of equip for two different guns and acessories and mine didn't even work correctly. Sydarms are rare, I would tell you to shove that tipp up your *** if you offered me that for trade. jk (not really)
