How to make the Ion work?..

[sovin]

Hello, I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on a paintball set-up..

The marker I'm set on splurging my load on is the Smart Parts ION

The Ion fetches a good $284 bucks on average.

I've been looking for a way to fit the following into my budget.

- goggles ($20)

- loader ($50)

- N2 sys. ($80)

... as you can see.. I'm quite a bit over my cap. This w/o even any paintballs to feed my wittle baby.. lol, eh -.-;

So, summarily; does anyone know of any way to trim it a bit?.. or suggest a reseller that can offer some better discounts?

this is a good deal on ebay, brand new http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1...sZbmkr1QQsojsZ0 (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsassZbmkr1QQsojsZ0)

Yeah, dont buy the Ion.... also, buy better goggles... at least $60-$65 bucks.... AT LEAST. Up to $90 for that. Wait for your budget to go up a bit.

mm, I'd try e-bay but... is it a safe/viable outlet?.. (most of the time)... I hear about how people's orders turn out to be junk that is non-refundable.

+ thanks for the great suggestions

Don't use ebay... buy it at your local store.... you guys should support your local store so they can stay in business. The other reason is unless you know how to work on the gun, what are you gonna do if it goes down on you?

Every store that I know of have some form of extended warranty for free just because you bought the gun at their store... just some food for thought.

Of course if you don't have a good store near you... well any of the online stores on our "shop for gear" will take good care of you.

Sorry.. but that option isn't quite viable for me..

Firstly, it would entail learning how to speak Italian. And doing that.. just to play paintball.. isn't that enthralling ;)

Thanks for the additional though ^^;.. (another critique.. so 'spensive T_T)
