trading my viking for a lasoya timmy?

[-=Squid=-]

Pretty straight forward... basically, a guy offers me a grey/black fade Lasoya, like new condition, black accents, with a few upgrades, for my loaded 04 viking. How are lasoyas in resale? Will they hold that resale very long? Hes ready to ship even... I just need the AO go ahead. And DK1, keep out

Thanks

Does it have clamshell? I dont know a whole lot about timmies, but all my friends said to make sure it has clamshell. I think the resale should hold for aleast a little while. The lower end timmies resale has dropped a lot. You can get a bare gz for 600. I have shot a few timmies (GZ's, Alias) and they are really sweet guns. I would say go for it if it were me. Do have pictures of both gun?

This is one of the higher ends. Was, clamshell etc, I just wanna know if the resale will hold well compared to the viking, and about what they are worth now.

I might trad just because i've always really liked timmies, but I don't think I would. Timmies seem to have too many problems (which AKA guns dont ), and even though they have a high resale vikings have about the same. I would keep the viking if I were you.

yea man, keep the vike.

ehhhnnn

What problems do timmys have? I wasnt aware people had big problems with them.

Can you put it on debounce 1 without anything other than the gun with WAS on a timmy?

You see... I just dont want a gun out of production, and a lasoya timmy is right up my alley.

resale of lasoyas is good. For the most part its like 900-1000 for a stock gun. of course stock for a lasoya is still pretty sweet. basically as far as maintainance goes, just keep is greased. I grease the ram about every 3 cases, and the regs after about 5 or 6. From there, dont mess with stuff that doesnt need fixing. I guess the decision for you is wether or not you like the feel, etc.

edit: people start having problems when they mess with things that dont need messing with, like some of the setting, or trying to run the lpr really low. As for deb. 1, you can put was 2.7 in it, but its kind of a pain. You can do it with just the gun though, look in the stickys in the intimidator forum on pbn Depending on the gun, it might bounce horribly at say...15. Others might not bounce at all, even on 2. Just get it to where it wont bounce a ton, whatever setting that is.

The lasoya is not going to be a better marker than the viking. A friend of mine has a lasoya that has never worked right, whereas the only problem I ever had with a viking was with the 04 detents when they first came out.

As far as value, I would think they are comparable, but don't do it because you think you will be getting a better marker.

I wouldnt bother, I would trade for an alais or empire...

considering that AKA was there before the viking/excal and they make non-paintball items.....

Timmy parts will always be around, becuase they are needed, frequently.

AKA will be around just as long as Bob Long crazy... They will continue supporting there products.

I dont think that timmys will lose there resale... hell, a clamshell/WAS classic can be sold for over 600.

hey.. i can always dream can't i...
