    cause its old, and LARGE, and a pain to maintain, AND cause they go for almost nothing when sold for cash. Thats why. Now if it were a DM# then thats a different story.

    I say if oyu need to get faster and are in no hurry; part out
    200 for the x vlave
    75 for the ULE body
    60 for the frame
    25 for the barrel
    25 for the rail (if the milling is clean and not a dremel job!)
    10 for the grip


    Lets say people haggle, and you get 350 or 325 not bad, now scrounge 100 to 150 and pick up that e mag you want. OR get lucky, get 400 and find someone with a functional if not pretty emag and brag about how you went from a RTP to emag on the cheap!

      I wouldn't do it either. The older matrices are still nice, but not as smooth or easy to maintain as a newer trix. If he were to let the trix go for fairly cheap as in well under $400 I would try to pick it up and keep your mag. The mag looks like a cool little gun. If you're not interested in buying the trix, then I would just save slowly for the emag when the one you want comes around. Christmas is close and you will probably get some money or something. The emag is a good gun as long as it has 3.2 software or 4.0 in rare cases. I had 2 emags that I was ready to get rid of until I got 3.2. The first emag I got had 1.37 and it was slow as hell. I loved them once the 3.2 was available.

              That would be an awful trade on your part.... that trix is worth $200 tops. You can get a Dye matrix used for around $300 - has eyes, mini rocket LPR (same as a SCM), rocket reg (same as a sidewinder), and a gun20 chip. You could easily get over $300 for your marker parted out. I love trixes, but if you really wanted one you could find upgrades ones with either an evolve bolt kit or Tadao installed for under $400. The LED trix you're looking at isn't much better than your RT if at all. Oh, the efficency on that trix is going to be worse than the RT too.

                The DM3 would be a better deal, find out if it has any upgrades though and make sure it has the mini rocket LPR, not the original long one that was crap. If you get to keep your Ultralite barrel in the trade then it's definately a good deal

                  If it weren't blind, then it would be a good straight up deal. But it doesn't even have eyes or an aftermarket board. I'd have him add around $100.

                    Yes, those early Trixes are nice.
                    *EDIT* Didn't see the part about no barrel, have him add one.

                      I wouldn't trade a nice Mag with and X-Valve for a Electropneumatic without eyes. Eyes are what really made electros "better" then nice mechanicals (remember when people were still using super (non-e) cockers in tournys?).

                      Sure you could shoot faster but only till you chop which you will do without eyes. You could turn the ROF way down and use a Halo but at that point it won't be any faster than your RTP.
