So I admit it, I haven't played paintball in a few years. My Mag sits in it's gun bag, lonely and desiring to be used. I'm tinkering with the idea of selling her....and the thought is VERY painful... so I decided to look on Ebay and see what a comparable gun would go for. All I can find are either stock'ish classic mags or old RT styles. Where's the ULE customs and personal customized jobs? My gun is totally custom and those guns don't hold a candle in most cases. Are people just holding on to their 'Mags or is the supply dwindling? (I suspect the first)

Oh, and HI! Haven't posted here in forever!

My Mag:

ULE Body
RPG feedneck
RPG 90 degree frame
Logic Alpha rail
RPG trigger
RPG "snatch" grip
X-valve
RPG 15 degree gas thru
Gas thru fore grip
3 piece Empire Barrel kit
Smoke VL Revolution
LVL 10
ULT
...and love. Lot's of love....

:shooting:

i'd say they're either holding onto them or bringing them to forums such as this one where they have a better chance of getting what the mag is worth.

well then, which forum is appropriate for pricing stuff out? Classifieds?

:shooting:People hold on to them and they are holding their value very well in comparison to other paintball guns.

Average prices above in RED

Obviously a picture would help but I would say that if you were to sell it complete that it would be in the $550 to $600 range.

Yeah, I think most people selling stuff on E-bay and Craigslist are just people who have had pretty much stock guns and never really did anything to them or know much about them. You'll find the custom jobs every once in a while there, but for the most part, the customs are here, and on other forums.

That setup is outdated. I'll give her a proper burial. Heck, I'll even pay shipping to my house. :D

well, I'm trying to post a picture but the site won't let me. I think the pic is too big and I don't know how to shrink it. ...yes, i'm computer illiterate!

Make a photobucket account and then get the link code for the image

Looks good just so you know there is a link under each picture in your photobucket album that says get link codes or something like that if you click on that you can get a link to directly post the picture in the forum

Nice, clean setup. I was never a fan of that rail, but to each their own.

The resale market is tightening, so since the supply is drying up, the price of a used one may increase.

so minus the empire barrel kit, how much would you all say this gun is worth? Still $550-600? Higher or lower? Curiosity must be satisfied.

would that be a big old "I dunno" ? :)

Guess if I don't get any more input, i'll just put it up for sale on the Classified section for $600 and see what happens. Couldn't hurt, right?
