    what has this world come to? [ebay]

    can't you sell ANYTHING without saying it's 'tricked'? this cocker has what...a reg and a homemade trigger job, so therefore it's tricked?

      He should be shot for that floating picture crap. So many stupid loopholes in website coding allow annoying crap (popups are the big thing I hate) that it makes me not want to even use the stupid internet.

        Its called marketing buddy. I say all kinds of cool stuff to sell new/used stuff on Ebay. If you were selling your Mag on ebay, you'd want as much as you can get for it, right? Thats why people use the word tricked.

              The autococker is a great upgrade from a spyder, tippmann, automag / minimag, and can give any gun on the marker a run for it's money.
              I thought that section he added was rather humerous, particularily the 'upgrade' gun from a 'mag heh heh heh

                  if you were selling a cocker, or any gun, would you advertise it as "stock mag with 2 upgrades" or "totally tricked cocker"? its just a way to rip some newbie off.

                    The "Trick" is that he gets you to buy a gun that you expect to be better than it actually is due to the fact he says it is upgraded, tricked, pimped, etc.

                        Not to mention this:

                        NOTE: This paintball gun is NOT in full working order at this time. When gassed up, it leaks down the barrel. To the best of my knowledge, the cause is a faulty hammer. The hammer is stripped, and therefore the cocking rod will not screw in. As far as I can tell, this problem can be fixed by buying a new hammer ($15 or $20 at any major paintball store), but I give no gaurentees.


                        I've got a broken watch that is really cool if you want to buy it too. It is exactly on time with the atomic clock in Colorado twice a day!

                          I like the part where hementions it has a new stainless steel cocking rod....too bad it won't connect to the gun!
