: : I'm just getting into paintball... I like it a lot, but I don't want to spend a fortune on a marker... : : here's the deal; a good friend of mine is offering me a Spyder TL in relatively good condition, along with a hopper and some goggles, for $100 bucks. I should also include some of the upgrades he has made: : : a regulator for nitrogen : : a dye sticky grip : : a JandJ barrel (I don't know what kind; rifled) : : good deal? not good deal? : : I have no idea : seems like a good deal, but check the internals for wear, go and play with it for a weekend, get to know it first. spyders can sometimes be finicky. if not a spyder, a tippmann anything is a very robust paintmarker. I wouldn't buy a tippman. too much plastic. although i have heard good things about the A5, I have no confidence in the reliability of a plastic marker.
