ive been in the game now for a few months and was wondering if this was a good score on ebay look here

Yes and No, the gun it self if not the greatest in the world. Its an autococker trilogy. New they're like 75 bucks, 50 on ebay. But the guy uppgraded it quite a lot so it might be decent. I would say its an ok buy.

You did okay. If you sold it all parted out, you would be able to redeem the money you spent.

It is a trilogy autococker. Under rated and looked down upon, great guns though.

It seems like no matter what you pay, a week later you find it cheaper. I try not to sweat that kind of stuff. The 20 bucks you MIGHT have been able to save by searching for hours isnt going to matter to you in 3 or 4 weeks. The trilogy is a great little gun. I like to think of it as a sports car with an automatic transmission. Faster than your ford taurus, but you cant shift yourself to eek out the last bit of performance.
Autococker purists tend to scorn the trilogy, but I think its a great way to get your feet wet. With all of the upgrades you can probably tune the crap out of it anyhow. I will say that your dropdown may be a bit big for comfortable shouldering when you take the backblock/beavertail into consideration.

With the tank included. I would say a pretty decent deal. Yeah the Trilogy is a cheapy cocker but there is some pretty good stuff thrown on it.

If it comes with the tank and hopper, you got a good deal. Trilogies are decent enough markers, and this one has a few good upgrades on it.

$35 for shipping is pretty steep if you ask me. You can fit an autococker in a flat rate box for $8.60 or even 2 by shipping the drop forward and barrel separate and still come in under half what he charged. That is the only thing I think he screwed you on. Otherwise, a nice marker.

I am not even sure the tank is included in the auction. It is not listed in the description and it's not shown in one of the pics. I think it's a good price though. At that high shipping cost though, that tank had better be included.

There's a very tiny disclaimer near the bottom:

"Tank and loader in photo are for reference only and do not come with marker"

It pays to read EVERYTHING in eBay auctions.

if what ever you buy makes you happy then it was a good purchase.

if your looking at price point only, you'll never be happy with anything.

of course that doesn't mean go out and get shafted,
but being happy with something can out weigh a minor saving.

you can get markers at either end of the price spectrum,
and find that functionally they preform nearly identical;
but one just feels better, makes you want to play more,
doesn't matter what it is if your happy that's all that counts.
