The other thing to consider is that Phantoms generally retain their value
much better than most used guns. What I do when buying a relatively unknown
item(to me) on ebay is I search the completed auctions for similar items to
find out what the going rate is. I think 100 bucks for a Phantom in good
shape is pretty standard if memory serves.

It's not a god complex when you're always right

I checked, all but one ended ebay auction had sold them for over $100.00 +
shipping

I meant the phantoms.

That is a normal price for a used traccer

>Good price or not?

that's not a bad price.. Especially if you are already in the market for a
Phantom anyway. I'd offer maybe a little less for it and see if he'd take it,
but even at $100 with the bottomline already in place, it's not a bad deal.

having owned numerous examples of both Phantoms and Trracers, I can tell you
that the Phantom is a cut above the Trracer. The overall quality and out of the
box performance of the Phantom is simply better. The Phantom comes with a
better barrel and shoots more consistently, in my opinion. The valve system
seems to be more reliable, not to mention much quieter. And the Phantom uses a
little less plastic in important places.

Jump on it. That is a good deal. You would pay $200 or so for the same
thing new. $135 wouldn't be unreasonable for that configuration if in good
shape. The Phantom is hands down the best pump for less than $500, at which
point we start talking used Carter's.

I paid 50 cdn, or about 35 us for a pmi Trracer pump, almost the same if I
recall correctly.
Not the greatest photo, I dunno, 100usd seems a bit steep.
