don't buy it. or try to get someone you know to buy it and if they don't get fucked buy it from them after they puss out and don't want to play. i got an e-magine you can buy. oh that that mask is ----. autococker is an expensive *** gun. imho its way too much of a pain in the *** with maintanance for the average player, unless you are really serious about pb, don't bother, you won't like the gun enough to keep up with the maintanance. i had one but i only play like once or twice a month, so almost everytime i played i would have to completely overhaul the gun. new o-ring, new plastic tube things, and it split ***** way too much. i think that was just my gun though.

send him an email sayin since he doesnt accecpt paypal, you will do COD only, and you will pay the extra $$ for shipping.

although, we all gotta start somewhere when it comes to selling on egay.

Use an escrow service...

Ive bought alot of stuff on ebay lately,and the only thing I bought with a money order I got screwed on. With paypal, when they jerk you around, you file a complaint, paypal takes the money back, and that gets their attention real fast.

the escrow is kinda spendy, and how can I do cod, do you mean just make him send it first or can you arrange ---- through the post office. And as far as getting the gun, I'm not worried at all about the type of gun. I want an autococker, I know plenty about them.

and thanks for the help so far

RotaryGeek

well if you like autococker than its a good deal. but for real, that gun probably has something wrong with it. a $1000 marker for $200? sounds questionable. and the fact that the guy doesn't have any kind of seller feedback makes it even more. but if you do go through with it, post it up and tell us how it works and if you got screwed or not.

the gun is fine its going for a good price the gun costs 250 new and no one wants them because there is newer ---- out there. Lets pretend I was buying a bag of dirst from a sller with only buyer feedback.

RotaryGeek

well then its really your choice. i personally wouldn't buy a bag of dirt - or that gun. espacially from someone with no seller feedback.
