    Well, I have an x-valved mag with a ULE body, and i-frame. I paid $600 for it in a package that included four barrels, a classic valve, SS body, and a few other things. Once I sold off what I didn't need, I ended up with a sweet mag for exactly $300. I don't think any gun for $300 could perform as well.

    That was about a year ago, and mag resale has dipped even lower with the introduction of the tac-one and the RT custom. Now you can get a stock '03 cocker for $318, but remember, this was a year ago.

    I think this is pretty cheap.

            Well, once you push to $300 (not including the footwork you did in the transaction), you've already pushed past, say, something like a Dragon TES. Not that $300 for an x-valve+ule+iframe isn't a great deal (it is). I love mags, but I'm not gonna kid myself; I've had kids shoot at me with cheap electro spyders, and no matter how much I love my mag, I still have to duck away from the incoming paint.

            The ebay gun you linked... also a great deal, in fact, I might have bid on it myself if I had seen it. I wonder why it didn't come up when I did a search. The only thing I can see is... The seller does not have many transactions, and a negative feedback. Sooo... caveat emptor, eh?

            Most of the time, I see no-frills standard mag (non-rt, non-ULE, non i-frame, MAYBE a L10) packages around $150 used.

            Oh crap. I just saw a mag on there with an accessory that I have NOT been able to find a replacement for, ANYWHERE. Gotta go.

              umm mag resale hasn't gone down on ebay. I just sold my RTP with boomstick, intelli, intellifeed, LX, revvy x, rico ak, drop, pmi reg, and a 4+1 harness for $585 on ebay. Don't tell me I didn't get a good frickin' deal. Also it is annoed green, so it is special.

                I'm not saying you can't get good money for a mag, just that with the ULE stuff and the tac one and the RT custom available for much cheaper now, it stands to reason that resale on used mags is going to drop.
