That sort of money, depends on condition and ups - might pay £180 for a REALLY nice one with a few extras...
The EGO 05 was and is one of the best guns you can get, and I bet the Majority of guys that traded them in for another have kicked themselves for what they`ve done, they are easily the most reliable and manageable in every mode you can get, with the amount of ups you can get for these if you want, but are great even if you left it alone as standard, I`ve had one from New and right now you wouldn`t come close to getting it for under £250, My last major service on it from Planet Eclipse was £120 alone.
now if your looking for charity maybe someone that don`t know what they`ve got might sell it cheap, but you get what you pay for..........Bluey

so what went wrong with it to warrant a service which in MOT terms would have been a written-off car?
Actually, I haven't seen one go close to this. Simply look around on the forums and you can see them going for over £100 cheaper than what you are saying. Where have you got your information from?
Ham fisted the back end with allen key myself which had to be replaced also a new rammer, changed all "o" rings while it was there, Now I was stupid to do what I did and should have known better, anyway all fixed, in general this gun is a dream and is my number x1 Gat . I have several up to date Gat`s and at one point this year had 17 Gat`s and still say the 05 x EGO was and is a fantastic marker. It just depends on how it performs for the shooter to evaluate.....Bluey
As an indication,within the last 2 months on here, I bought robbo's nexus for £140 and a 1/32 mantis 05 for £90, These are both very limited markers, I'm not saying these are the norm, but i'd say from £80 - 175 seems to be the rough price. just remember parts and aftermarket parts are getting slightly harder to find.
05-06's make a fantastic first marker/backup marker as they just seem to keep going strong, and they can keep up with whatever is outhere.
