Craigslist Gold

[going_home]

This is the way it looked when it followed me home from Craigslist a few months ago.

Used it yesterday, very fun to play with.
This is the way it ended up after anodizing the raw body and rail.

New Triton frame and RPG gas thru (thanks Sean), feedneck, barrel, and I had a reverse
Xvalve I decided to use on this instead on the 2009 MicroMag.

Its my "new" MicroMag so to speak. :D
Never seen that Benchmark rail with a Chord, and its a Benchmark barrel vert asa.


Anyone else got some Craigslist gold that followed you home ?


;)

Wow, that does fit really well with the chord body. Nice build!

I like.

snagged a complete X-Valve with all springs, carriers, shims, CD, warranty card, etc... For a whopping $35 +Shipping a few weeks ago. Played a full day with it so far, no complaints :D .

So I sold my original x-valve which was also a craigslist snag. I got that one in a lot of 4 mags for $450. It also had a brand new Logic Alpha rail. I then kept all the parts I wanted (including the logic rail and x-valve, which was also complete) and sold/parted the rest and made my money back...

Man I love craigslist sometimes.

here are some pics of the x-valve snag.. it sat unused for like 4-5 years, but a little oil has it running right along in my pneumag. (looks a lot better in person, only two little scratches in the anno.

Sweet that is the first chord bodied mag I have actually liked the look of. Great pick up.

[OPBN]

Nice finds. I run through CL every once in awhile, but only find a bunch of spyder and junk. That or one dude with an Etek setup that was trying to get like 90% of retail.

Who did your anodize? very nice...

[Daze]

It's one of the old Lava 'cockers that Kapp put out. Fairly rare and a really nice fine. I'm surprised it didn't go for a little more, honestly.

[bound for glory]

in this economy? i bought a almost new in box shocker for less than $100. and it shoots great!
i beleive if the economy coninues like its been, we may see paintball take a dive. i know the guys up at EMR and without naming who said it(bobby!), they are very worried about the upcoming season. maybe even make or break. thou i really hope not...

[captian pinky]

it was 200 for just the body and internals but i didnt feel like sitting on it for ever and the market sucks

[leloup]

I used to buy classics for 50-55 then part and sell for about $100. Did that with about 10 of 'em. Also flipped a classic rt, bought for 100, sold for 150. Cockers were harder to do that with.
