who wants a 1000 dollar spyder

[The Spanish Inquisition]

I guess I might as well point out what sight that was posted on. Nothing supprises me when I click on a link to PBN anymore.

[teufelhunden]

Um, ignorant people who are calling it just an ugly Timmy... it's not...

It has no pneumatics. It still works like and old Spyder... striker, springs, everything. No ram/poppet/etc.

[SIGSays]

i used to have a 1 g spyder... but that was back in the day.. i know a few people that had 1g spyders... but i mean hey. he did spend alot on it... he just doesn't know resale

we've all been there at some time, it was fun i must say
i wouldnt mind having another "cool looking pimped out spyder" right now either

back in those days we never realized that we couldnt sell our "junk guns" for more than 200

the poor kid must be 13 like i used to be

[tippmannpain889]

why the f@*& do you keep on about thsi subject? i mean its his money and there are a lot of stupid people out htere so someone will buy it for 1000 trust me. ive sold a 98 for 500...that shows how stupid some rich kids are..."wow thats looks cool lets see how it shoots... wow that sraight ill buy it how much o you want???...ummm 500 ..."O ok".... stupid people are my friends...

just for an example

[dwab3000]

Also, i mean yeah its strange, but its neat in a way..

if im able to make it to IAO this year, i will be playing with more than a 1000 $ spyder well "the one" which uses a ram and stuff. (with custom electronics and milling nd so much upgrades, it drives timmys wild)...

i mean, yeah its strange, but you know what i sat there building, programming, doing so many mods

ive got it running at 240 or so, but it couldnt handle anything over 2 bps

i know how he feels, and ive seen this on the sz forum

[punkncat]

I once built a Bob Long Milly that ran nearly a grand , maybe even more after all the parts I went through.
It was running on a Mako frame with AKA internals and a Palmer reg(that I still own). Had it running about 280PSI. Worked great on CO2 year round. Shot really quick and would put them out like darts before it chopped , which it always did.
Thats another bit of my learning curve towards using Lvl 10......(plug)

[venividivichi]

wow the idiocy

u do realize that that gun is a timmy right because all a timmy is is an upgraded spyder so all this talk of being able to buy a timmy for that much is cool but this thing is uncapped so it can out shoot a timmy
just thought id give my 2 cents

thats the most uneducated response ever...

have you compared the 2? sure they look alike, but the internals are completely different, from front to back, nothing the same

do your research before you speak, i went easy on you, others would chew you up and spit you out

[OysterBoy]

hahaha. couldent agree more, I think vendivich is some guy on the local paintball field forum that leeched over from when i posted the hair trigger vid.

[Thermus]

With the switch setup on a spyder, I doubt anyone could pull 16 on it.

[paint magnet]

Yes, but with all that on it, surely he's replaced the switch...if I was upgrading an E Spyder, the switch would be one of the first things to go.

Just an estimation of what everything costs:

Spyder AMG Classic - 200
IS Board w/Eyes - 120
Custom Products Pro Barrel Kit - 150
Spudnukl LP Bolt - 30
Dark Horizon Otterized Striker - no idea, not more than 30
Maddmad Rocket Valve - 25-30
32 Degrees Medium Green Spring with 6 coils cut off - 10 for kit
Halo B - 120
Check It Products Feedneck Adapter - 15
Low Rise Check It Products Impulse Feedneck - 20
MacDev '04 Gladiator - 80???
Phat 3D Flame Drop - 20
Phat On/Off - 10
Zap Mirror Acrylic Grips - 20
SV AMG V/A - 30
Check It Products Sweet Spot Trigger - 20
50 gram Microswitch - 10
Crossfire Carbon Fiber 68/3000 Tank - 120
Dye Tank Cover - 15

All together new, approx. 1020. I can't imagion whay he would pay 1400 new for all of that. For 1000 bucks thats not something I would consider a deal, you could get everything new for around that. Plus, you could have a really sexy marker for 1k... ebladed cockers, angels, matrixes, timmys... pretty much anything except DM4s, alias', stuff like that. Ridiculous.

No, wrong on almost all the prices.
Feedneck is 25 dif of 5
Drop- 30 dif of 10
On/off- 30 dif of 20
Tank-150 dif of 30
Tank cover-25 dif of 10
DH Titanium hammer- 55- dif of 25
A full CP Kit- 200 dif of 50
Gun- 270 dif of 70
Just pointing out that you are wrong on the prices.

I agree with you on the other part though, upgrading spyders are stupid.

[madmatt151]

Spyders were meant to be low end, cost effective guns. I think that is just a waste of money. If I ever spent that much time and money on something like that, I'd NEVER sell it.

Well, Honda Civics are meant to be cost effective econoboxes, but I see most guys these days spending more on them than what they paid for it initially. Then they sell it for more than it was (is) worth. Its all about preferences. Personally I never understood people upgrading basic markers, or cars for that matter, but as time has gone on I see the satisfaction it brings. Selling it though, you won't get what you think it deserves. I know what I spent on my Mag, but I don't think I coulc ever get even half of that. Life goes on.

[hAppy]

upgrading isnt meant to be a "dumb move" to other peoples view
its just instinct, some people can't help it.
i know for a fact that all my friends couldn't keep their gun stock, even if the reg was "great" or the barrel was "good enough" they just had to find something new to slap on. soon screw in tanks got boring, 12 inchers were boring, the cool bolt knob was boring, etc, you just do it cus you want something new.

its all understandable, just seems dumb when you look back at it

anywho i love these new faces
