Shot count??

[tombut716]

Is the shot count of a marker is a big deal when trying to sell it? Surely age of the marker is more of a deterrent?

Doesnt matter to me im more interested in condition of the marker if spares are available

Like buying a car, people used to worry about mileage, but general condition is more important.

The shot count can be reset, and won't know the difference between between dry fring, game play etc

I don't know about when trying to sell it, but for me the only time I would buy a new marker is if I really wanted it, and if I really wanted it shot count means nothing to me, however, as tommikka has pointed out, general condition does......

absolutely not! and it really ****s me off when people ask for it!!

"whats the shot count!?"

"erm..... zero mate!!"

"but its an ego 08!?"

"yeah.... never shot it mate!!"

The shot count is important to me but not because a high shot count is bad. A high shot count is usually indicative of a well used, well broken in and reliable marker.

but as soon as you give it a full service, all that "broken in" malarky is as much use as the shot count itself

My SL74 has had 300K + shots easily. Still looks like new inside/out and still shoots like new.
A twelve month old marker could have 10K shots and have bags of problems due to not being looked after.
