    is it really worth it????

    ok i went around to ALOT of different websites just a few minutes ago and started to add up how much it would be for me to get the ultimate automag...i will list everything i had on there below and take opinons from you guys about changeing parts around...

    back to my question though..when i finished adding everyting up i got a grand total of $1279.00...now i will most likely still be buying this besides the price...i just wanted to know what you guys thought of all this...Is it really worth me buying this knowing that if i ever try to resell it i would MAYBE get less then half, around 600 for it?

    well heres the parts of what im getting...

    nickel ule body
    nickel blade intell frame
    x-valve
    cp 2 peice 10" barrel
    omega crome drop
    kapp low rise feed
    12v revolution(thought about the halo but i like the 12v's looks better)
    kapp forgrip
    max flow 45 4500 tank
    all hoses and connectors


    i know when i put this together its really going to rip, and i want to buy everything new because i decided its time for me to stop buying other peoples guns...


    so do you guys think its worth me spending this 1200 some odd dollors to get the ultimate automag?

    I would say go for a ULE E-mag for that price.

        Thats really expensive, and no, it isnt worth it (in my oppinion) For that price, you could buy an xmag, a nice viking, an intimidator (why would you want to though?) and many other things..


        -------------
        RT Pro ULE Custom (W/ nickle, and blade inteliframe) = $515


        -------------
        Nickle CP Back = $34
        10" polished clear front = $30
        Black 45/45 Maxxy = $349
        Chrome Omega Drop = $27
        Revy = $45

        That adds up to 1k flat.
        Now why you would want these, I dont know:
        KAPP Foregrip (a foregrip comes with ULE custom)
        Hoses and connectors (again, comes with ULE custom)
        Kapp Low Rise (A low rise comes with ULE custom..)

          Not really, a used ULE e-mag will run you around 700-800. Also, a brand new ULE e-mag is 999 i believe at pbgear.com

            why not get a ule rtp with a nickle body and intell frame.
            they come with the x valve all for only like $550 then just buy the rest of the stuff you want

              yes a used one is alot cheaper but if u look at my 1st post i said i wanted to buy a gun and stop owning someone elses....also they are 799 at paintballgrea.com....



              ok now that everyone is telling me this im not sure what i want...i would really like to get that gun i have in my 1st post but an emag is becoming very very tempting now....


              i guess ill just sleep on it and decide after some other people have put there thoughts in...

                no, thats definatly not worth it. not even remotely. if its a mag you want, then get it built for ya, or buy a ule rtp.
                However, imo, youd be way better off buying something faster. For that kind of money we are talking Lasoya timmy or A4. Or you could get a whole matrix, viking or speed setup for that money. Yes the mag would shoot well, but not well enough to justify that cost.

                  This is what I was thinking. Even if you add a brand new Max-Flo ($350), you'll still be under $1000. There's really no reason to buy your Mag a-la-cart.


                  P.S. The above RTP w/ Max-Flo would be worth every penny IMHO

                    ok, if you want an ultimate mag, and you dont want a used mag, and if you are leaning towards an emag, then talk to tunaman, and get you a tunamax. it is an all uled emag, i mean xvalve, ule frame, ule rail, ule body, anoed to match. i think he said they go for about 1100 now adays. just go here for some specs and pricing.

                      In the new pbgear.com catalogue, the ULE e-mags are 999 I believe. I think the ones that are 799 do not have x valves or ULE bodies.

                        Automag223,

                        I mean, it's definitely your choice...but getting what's considered top of the line isn't really going to change your game. As long as your marker has:
                        xValve
                        double finger trigger

                        then you'll be shooting as well as anyone else with that setup. Rails are fairly aesthetic at this point in the game, as is the type of body that you choose.

                        Get whatever setup YOU really want. As long as it's your personal choice, it's worth it.

                        Jacob
                        My AIM Intimidator is better than your Automag. Get over it.

                          Hell...if you are spending that much..might as well get an xmag for a bit more.

                            It's never worth it no matter what marker you get.

                            Everyone of the markers I have ever built or purchased was a waste of money. But who cares. I do this for my enjoyment and to have what I want.

                            I'm picking up an Immortal Viking soon. Just another waste of money. In 2-3 monthes I'll be losing 2-300 trying to sell it.

                            But in the end it is better if you are spending that amount of money to get a higher end marker like an X Mag...at least value drops slower.

                            BUY THESE

                              yea, especially if you buy a used x-mag, then if you sell it, you will lose at most like 100 bucks, saving you money, just like geico.
