What should I do?

Hi, I'm considering buying a Geo of my mate for Half it's retail price because he gets them free from planet eclipse. It's an 09 GEO so he's put the price down for me to £300. 1. Because I play paintball with him regularly and he's one of my best mates. 2. He's never opened the box and its just cluttering up space because he has several new markers now.

The Reason why I'm posting this thread is.. 1. because I only play 2/3 times a month and was wondering if a GEO would be too much? 2. With a GEO, if you put some really bad hopper/loader you just going to look like a complete dick on the game field. I am saying this because I am 15 and have a pritty tight budget. 3. Should i just get it and light up anyone whos playing with me?

I would have to get a decent loader(possibly Empire prophecy or Rotor) and air tank (empire, dye throttle) We are talking into £160 for the hopper/loader and £150/80 on air.
Is this too much for playing 3/4 times a month?

Thanks for reading and please help me out. on PM me on any questions or details.

well if you buy the loader and air from these forums, you'll obviously be saving yourself some pennies.

Prophecies go for around the £40-£50 and rotors for approx. £80-£90.

Air bottles go for around £80 to £100.

If you're set on getting the Geo, don't short-change yourself with a steel bottle and gravity-fed hopper as they simply will not complement your marker. Get high-end stuff to go with your high end marker.

Thanks for all the replys, I know the gun wont make me a better player and its not a game. I'm not exactly sure how he got the GEO free, I will have to ask him at the walk-on tomorrow. I dont know what his status is like pro-semi pro but i know he a hell of a snake player. I am going to buy it off him. Thanks for all the help.
