tradin cocker for an a-5 need help!!!

[SpydermanN9]

whats the resale value on the average 6 month old tippman A-5 pretty good condition with about 4000 shots through it no upgrades

im downsizing from an sx vengence cocker to a tippman and id also like an idea about how much money to ask for with it

this is the gun except ive added a sx on /off black macro and a chrome **edit**(swing trigger frame) the barrel is still stock

thanx n8n

$250 max

Why downgrade that much? Just keep your cocker, it's a nice gun. Not to say an A-5 isn't a nice gun, just not as nice.

[slushee]

i'm assuming your looking to get the flatline?

[Gabriel]

NoOoOoOoO!!! Dont do that, A-5s are icky!

Ok, so they'Re not 'icky', but why do you want to downgrade? They're nice and all, but is there any particular reason?

[i_baked_cookies]

a-5s are ugly and they make you look like one of those 8 yr old kids that dont know what theyre doing. stay with the cocker.


**edit**- well if u got flatline and rt with double trigger, it would be a pretty nice woods gun

[RRfireblade]

Down grading is usually such a waste.Resale stinks on almost all PB guns anyway.You lose your butt on the resale of your "old" gun and end up buying someone else "old" and cheap gun along w/ the reasons they were selling it for.

If you sell your cocker for $2-$300 max and buy a used Tippy for $250 what have you actually gained,more like lost.

Your chioce though,

im downsizing from an sx vengence cocker to a tippman

thats not really downgrading is it?
its a SX cocker

[SpydermanN9]

up for this

skife-if u have something useful to add then by all means do so but i didnt come in s***'n on ur gun dont do it to mine


And i rarly play paintball i dont need this cocker i need money so i will have something to drive yes i would like to sell it completely but thats easier said than done all i want is a gun to play every now and then until i find a better job play more and get the money for a new gun

[wobbles82]

I dont think skife was trying to be rude, he was just suggesting. That cocker series cannot fetch a large price because they sell so low, so in reality going to an A-5 isnt really downgrading. Selling the cocker im sure is almost nearly impossible for what you want and an A-5 probably is a fair trade. Nothing to worry about on the gun, and if ya want, eframe it, and let the good times roll. IMO, if your going to wanna air up and play every once in awhile, take the A-5, and just forget about selling either, hold onto them because youll regret a cheap sale in the long run.

well if you really need money. then get a m98. and ask for more money, im not sure what any of those are worth though. but if you rarely play pball, and need money, just get the m98 so you get more cash in hand

[SpydermanN9]

thats origionally what i wanted to dowas get the m98 but i had a guy offer me an a-5 and some money but he wants me to decide how much i may decline and go for the m98 thanks everyone so far youve been helpful

skife i appologize if you werent tring to be rude i know the resale on either isnt great but i do not care for any one who will sit and talk s*** about the kind or price of anyones gun when we all know its not really about the gun its how u run the field. NOT implying that you are one of these people im just stateing the way i feel. as i said before if u werent i do apologize with sencerity

if anyone wants to look at what ive got to sale ive got stuff other than the cocker(jerseys,pack,dvd player and other misc. items)

[RRfireblade]

In that case I'd take as much cash as he's willing to go for.And this is not a slam on your gun but those should only go for $200-$300 absolute max.If you can get more,go for it.As I said earlier,I don't see how a few bucks either way really changes your finacial position but if your just wanting something different,that's all good too.
