Hey everyone , im new to paintball , played a few times and love it , looking to getting my own gun but really having trouble with what to get , i can see myself more into speed ball but need some suggestions. Im switching over to HPA asap. I had the vibe and spyder pilot with eyes, but im looking to spend between 200-300 on a used gun , any suggestions and if so anyone selling ?

you could get an Ion or maybe mini for that price range used. Ion are are very good little markers you can upgrade the heck out em. I've seen some very high performance Ion's out there.

If you haven't gotten rid of that vibe, keep it! Upgrading it can make it even better than it is! Blackheart board, aftermarket trigger, clamping feedneck, on/off asa... all of that and it's better than a stock ion!

Used ions are great guns for the money. They have terrible resale value, kids buy them put $500 in upgrades in them and they don't usually sell over $200. I've seen plenty of ions with everything you need in them to be upped go for $150.
The mini is a great gun if you are comfortable shooting it. The foregrip is closer than typical markers, so it can be awkward for some people. I would keep it on stock settings though, if you don't know what you're doiong and try to fiddle with the dwell and such you can get a pretty unrealiable gun.

I vote with maverick.
I'd take that vibe over anything on the market in the 2 to 300 dollar range.
If you enjoy playing more then fixing. if you do go Ion make sure it is at lelast XE..
