Paintball

[flyweightnate]

I'm coming up on a serious financial issue... namely, April's rent. And I have NO time to work, to say the least.

I got an OTP 3-pc 'cocker kit, 14", black front, all 5 backs. Ano wear at the tip and on some of the threads, but all 5 sizers, and perfect bore still.

Also, I have too many guns (based on my finances, not on my mentality) so I'm wondering what they might be worth.

A like-new, silver bodied Line SI Bushmaster is coming to me rather soon from eBay. Resale value? Supposedly seen 500 shots, and a lot of closet time, but still holds air well.

Proline Sterling STP, Rainman rail, Mag VA, wood 'cocker grips, spare stock barrel (both 13" brass lined), turned down Raptor stock barrel, T-stock, backbottle, with bottomline setup, all in a very un-blemished Navy ano.

Am Illusion, LNIB. No stick feed as far as I can tell, again coming in rather soon.

Old, beat-up Sentinels, that still cycle quite well, but are press-fit feednecks, not the rip bolts, and don't have the "sight groove" or "tattoo" milling. Double triggers, newer sears, no sear wear.

'83 PGP in need of a rebuild, with very amateurishly cut ball count slots. Polished up, frame sanded raw, PMI rubber grips. Knurled aluminum pump, not the ribbed style. Missing original front cap for feed tube; replaced with end of a 12g.

Glued JJ Full Tilt barrel, 12" black, and 12" .688 Javelin, both cocker threaded.

The Illusion, Sterling, and Javelin barrel, I'm really not wanting to part with. Honestly, I'm really not wanting to part with any of it, except one of the two Sentinels. But I'm really quite broke, and college is not forgiving right now, so I figure something needs to go.

So, appraisals appreciated, offers appreciated even more. Trades for an Illusion stick feed probably ok by me, too. Thanks, everyone.

any pictures, easier to to quote on pricing

Not any time soon... I need sleep, just hittin the sack now, and only have a cameraphone. Rough estimates work for me... I mostly want to know if the Sterling, for example, is somehow worth 500, in which case, sell. Or if the OTP kit will barely fetch 30, or Bushy only 120, in which case, keep. That sort of thing.

Thanks.

I'm going to guess, MCB'ers correct me. I using MCB Paintball Blue Book

Line SI Bushmaster, no more than $100 depending on condition.

Sterling $150, maybe more depending on how much the buyer wants a Sterling.

Illusion $150+, probably closer to $200 as these guys are popular and increasingly harder to find. I sold one I bought new and used once. It took about 5.43 seconds on MCB to sell it. I should have asked more than $150.

Sentinels: I'm guessing 50-75 for out of production stacked-tube blowbacks?

PGP - 90 tops

JJ Barrel 15-20, depending on market. There are a lot cocker barrels out there.

[flyweightnate]

Yuck. Well, I've seen Bushmasters go for up to 200, and this one appears to be pristine... I guess none of it is really worth selling, though, at least not for now.

you could possibly do better on e-bay than forum selling if you list it right and have some awesome photo's

I might be interested in the OTP I paid 30 for mine with inserts but I've seen them go up to 50. Lord knows I'm and OTP whore.

We need to play soon too.

[flyweightnate]

Yeah, we need to play soon. I just got that kit for 40, figuring it was a good deal... then freakin insurance didn't cover my contact lenses cuz I bought em outta state, at school instead of home.

Maybe in a week, Nitro, up in Canton, work for you? That's my current favorite... might try Carnage though.

[ih8cornnuts]

F the insurance company, I had the same problem in college once too.

Carnage is cool but on the small side, especially their speedball field. I still have yet to play Nitro so I'm interested in there.

I played PB Atl last weekend to check it out and we had a killer time. The only thing that sucked was $80 A CASE!!! Good thing we played pump. As usual the only pumps out there, a buzzard and a ccm s5b.

[flyweightnate]

Yeah... I'm not think I'll be going to Atlanta too often... I mean, the paint is all low-end stuff, too. Looks like RPS Stingers, which I can buy for 25-30. Screw that. Only time I went there, we got the residence hall association to pay for EVERYTHING, but fills and 5 bucks. So I spent $15, sold some used gear to a kid for $20, and shot a case of paint.
