It's really not worth $1500, you can buy one on pbnation for $750-800...sp went out of business so they are worth diddly squat



Do not get a mini. They have terrible fsdo, and for the $400 you spend on a new one or however much they overcharge for them, you could just get an ego8 that will be 100x better and require much less maintenance.


mini's arent bad at all....If you're shooting an older one, you may have bad results..

They are $299-309 new...It really is the best brand new gun in the price range.

The mini really has little maintenance and if maintenance is needed.....it's simple....

Stop being ignorant.

How am I being ignorant at all? I've had three kids at my local field need me to fix their guns while I was reffing. One was a rather simple lube fix, but the others I had to order a solenoid for them and the others gun was just busted to fuck. Maintenance on any gun is simple, you have to be mechanically incompetent to not be able to work on a paintball gun. For the 300 you'd be spending, you really are better off buying something else, because for the most part, if they are serious enough to buy a mini, they most likely will get into the higher levels of paintball and tournament play, and end up replacing that mini in 3-4 months for an ego(#) / dm(#) something highend

You pretty much stated these kids don't take care of their equipment.

Some people don't like to buy used equipment, you never know EXACTLY what you're in for.

True, but you can always buy the used equipment from trusted distributors, like trademygun and things such as that.

I would be getting the 1.5 for 600 ;)

I wish I could find a dm10 like the one you did, I would jump on it.

TMG overcharges like fuck though. He always wants more than the guns are going for normally.
Although his shit is always super clean, so I can't hate on him there.

I would definitely pick up the luxe and resell it for $700-750. However, you need to be careful with buying that for so cheap because there may be a problem with it, and luxe parts are hard to come by.
He does list his guns a little high, but if you noticed, he has a lot of the same guns up for a very long while. So i'm sure he would take the first decent offer

BNIB :ph34r:

And yeah I was thinking about trying to shoot him a more better offer. Might give it a shot.

Well that would definitely be a steal, assuming it truly is BNIB / no problems.
