Keep the viking?

[Demobilized]

With the whole SP thing going on should I dump the viking while I still can? Will AKA not making the viking anymore give me better resale or worse?

And I do know AKA will still make parts and service the gun, its not about that. I just was wondering if the resale was going to plummet and I should dump it, or that it wont change much.

Thanks for opinions

Edit 04 Viking by the way

i would keep it
the resale value should go up, plus it's a great marker!

I'm going to keep it. Hopefully when I do decide to get a new gun (Matrix/DM4 is all I will consider at this point as far as electros go), the resale will go UP.

[barberjohn]

a gun like a viking probably wont be matched soon by the other gun makers, so i would keep it.

Im keeping my 04... I assume resale will go up, and because they will still honor all warrenties, then why get rid of it? Chances are there will be no better marker any time soon...

[Ov3rmind]

I think it's so funny how everyone said the SP lawsuits wouldn't really affect anyone. And to think, this is just the beginning (well sort of).

[68magOwner]

no, you should definately get rid of it, resale will plummit, trade for my imp

[Lohman446]

Its the same thing as when I look at my e-mag, new to me.

Its still as good of, actually a better gun than when I ordered it, as is yours.

It will still function into the forseeable future (unless TK just blows away the industry with the 2005 AGD whatever) as a top competitor. In the past 4 years have markers really improved that much? Not really. Keep them, they will be good into the future.

the price will probably go up for a little while. than maybe in a year you will have a hard time selling it for a good price. I say keep your viking.

Nothing's value in paintball ever increases. Don't hold your breath.

Excalibur

I just picked up an Excal and I am going to keep it. AKA will be around for a while and there are enough guns out there for some techs to make som money fixing them. AKA makes some of the best guns out there IMO.

I feel bad for AGD and AKA because I don't believe they presented any real competition to SP. IMO mag users and AKA users represent a different market at least for now.

Sell it now so you can profit on the run for them.

[barberjohn]

jeez, dont listen to people. keep the gun, you will not find anything else that can outperform a viking, besides maybe an angel 4, but even those markers lie on their max bps counters .

Not true. I saw a pair of Keely Watson's thong underpants, still warm from a day of paintball, going for quite a bit more on E-bay than what she paid for them originally.
