I've recently been trolling Ebay looking to pick up my first A-5 (I've been wanting one for a long time, though not to say my pro-carbine hasn't been well-loved). I've come accross a few auctions selling factory refurbed A-5s (they are all being sold by the same ebay store)
Including the insane shipping cost (25$) it would only be 150-160$ for one whose auction is closing in about 5 hours, at nearly 60-70$ cheaper then the cheapest online retailer I can find (220$ with free shipping from action village), I can't help but give it a look.
My question to you guys is does anyone have any experiance with refurbed tippmanns? Even though I've had nothing but good experiances buying used items in the past (my nitro tank, my hopper, and my car for example). It still makes me nervous every time, and doubly so when I can't try it out to verify its in good working order. My brain tell's me its a tippmann and so it should work just fine, especially if the factory has had their hands on it to fix it up, but I'm still worried. Does anyone have any info on tippmann's refurb track record?
