Ive had pretty good success both buying and selling on e-bay. It really helps a lot if you know exactly what you want and really know what things are worth. oh and patience. Dont just jump on the first deal that has what you want. shop around, insist on pictures, look for the burried treasure. lots of crappy paintguns got for more than they are worth because they look fancy, and other really nice setups go for too little because people just dont know whats in them, what they are worth and dont ask questions of the seller.

I like to look for auctions that end at times when people wont be paying as much attention when they close, late at night and early in the mornings. and I search outside the regular categories. sometimes people post items in the wrong places and they dont get as much traffic, and therefor go for less. and check alternate and sometimes incorrect spellings. Ive found good deals that way too.

good luck.

ps, dont belive all the hype. my backup marker is a spyder and it performs as well as many automags and doesnt have problems and require twidling like my mini-cocker. truth of the matter is, if you like whatever marker, no matter what anyone tells you, youll think it works just fine.
