Advice on this used marker

[Conner93]

hey, I'm looking at buying a used proto rail paintball gun, I was just wondering if there is any obvious things I should ask the seller about the gun and if there are any other things I should look out for when buying this gun, i have a picture of the gun and a few extras that are included which I will include in this post so you can see it, all help is appreciated thanks!

I also forgot to say that I've already asked a couple questions to the seller, this marker he says he bought in 2011 and has only been used a couple times
Also howmuch would you be expecting to pay for this lot? Thanks

How much is a 2011 Proto Rail brand new? Have you checked the Dye website for a comparable price check? How much is he asking for it?

I dont see any extras. I see a set of allan keys, lube and orings, which probably came with it in that box you see. The barrel condom probably came with it, but maybe £5 new. The hopper is worth nothing - a few quid, and the metal bottle is probably £30 new.

So depends on the price of the gun. Dont think he will be making his money back on nearly 4yr old kit.

Thanks for the reply, he's wanting £100 for the lot, there's a special offer on 1 of the paintball websites, can't remember which 1 off the top of my head, but the gun on that site is currently about £166

I paid £120 for a used 2011 Rail last year (including postage etc). It's had some reliability issues, and I think it has now packed in, but it was good enough as a first marker. I think it was quite heavily used before I bought it as well.
If it's old kit, worth checking the re-test date on the cylinder, as that will probably need doing at 5 years.
