Change of Heart...... Dilemma!

[DarkFata1ty]

Mornin' all

Right ive had a change of heart about my marker, i make a mistake and bought all the stuff without reading into it. which ive now done and im sending my marker back which is an Eros-E, in replacement for something like a Spyder RS?

Would this be a wise move? ive looked on a few websites and everyone seems to rate the Spyder for a beginner and as i only want to spend £100-150 on the marker alone. ive been looking on justpaintball.co.uk at the markers but anyone know any other good sites that are UK based?

Man if you've got £100-£150 to spend on a marker, buy second hand from here! You can pick up some awesome stuff far better than both guns.

Secondhand Ion £80,spyder ok for holding down a newspaper on a windy day.
If you want to play at a higher level,look to higher spec guns..Ion is a very good marker for the price,plenty of expertise on them and cheap for spares and upgrades...

If you can stretch a little more(you might be able to barter him down). The Pm7 is an awesome marker shoots ropes straight out of the box.

£150 would get some good stuff 2nd hand.

SFT shocker (make sure it has the high effeciency ups)
Epiphany
some of the Proto Matrix (PM) series - a good PMR, or PM6/7
EGO5 (maybe an 06 if your lucky)
ETEK1 (stock ones have gone for around your top end)

some of these will give you some very good marker for your money - far more than any spyder.....

gotta agree with Rider, apart from the bit about 06 egos being within your budget
you'll get way more marker for your money with any of the above

im new to paintball as well bud, cant recomend this site enough

ive spent about £700 on here for three people evrythings been great wasnt sure about buying at first but can say now id come here first befor looking in a shop, times are hard freinds are few l0l

Argh its a confusing life for a newbie! i shot myself in the foot though as i stupidly got all the stuff before spending time on here. which i know was a mistake.

So you all think the best bet is to scout around on here for a gun rather than buy new? as i am completely new to this i want to make sure im doing it right!

So look for something along the lines of a Ion or PM range?

This forum is awesome. Done a lot of business and always had good deals.. Although there's plenty of gear to be had on here there is also plenty of knowledge as well. Quite a few on here have played for 15 years or more. Ask away dude.
