Year old Marauder Never been filled Buy or No-Buy?

[bear air]

Nice to know

[kkarmical]

If it has "never been filled", it probably leaks.   Would have left the factory with air.   Buy one new from Crosman for $404.99 (with discount - and free shipping Friday) and has a warranty.

for the price thats the way id go myself.
now if the guy was asking like 250 or something id snag it,but 400?
id look elsewhere,or haggle him down to 275 lol

Thanks for the tip.  It was listed less than 24 hrs ago. May just let it sit for a while then make him aware of the Crosman deal. Then start @ $250.

Thanks again for the help.

I'd start at $250 and go no further than $300.  Let whoever is selling it know that the gun will need to be serviced since it is not holding air, no need in letting them know you'll be doing work yourself.

The code is AGNATION and still works for 25% off. Brings the cost of a 25 down to $420.  I may pull the trigger on one next Friday.

Just wanted to post up that as of Friday the 15th of Nov 2019, this code, and the Free Shipping Friday, still works. .25 caliber Marauder arrived yesterday 19 Nov. $428 to the house.

Thanks for the tip and code..

I love it already, though after hand pumping to 3000psi a couple times.. I already ordered a fully loaded Tiger Shark. (after making a few calls and finding our local paint ball center/range/playground/battle field will fill it for $10.)

Congrats and welcome to GTA! I see you've found Condor's, I've been getting my SCUBA tank filled there for a couple of years, great people. I also played paintball there back in the early 90's. I asked not long about water separation and was told the setup they use is a breathing compressor that came from an oil rig several years ago and they keep the filters in good shape. I have been inside all of my PCP's and even with a mix of hand pumping and my tank, have never seen any indications of moisture.

I think I would wait and see what Crosman does for Black Friday. Rumor has it might be some killer deals for Friday only. He's not going to move it by then at his asking price.

It's most likely not holding air.  They ship new with at least 1000 psi.  The most you would need to do is replace the valve poppet and five HPA O-rings.  Very cheap and easy to rebuild a Mrod.  My concern would be rust inside the HPA tube causing a leak, but that's fixable as well.  I think $325 to $350 would be fair, but the more you can save the better to cover your labor to fix.  I bet it needs something.  They hold air for years when right.


P.S. Possibly a new gauge also.  They're notorious for leaking out of the weep hole in the back of them.

Glad to hear you got it! You will enjoy the simplicity of the marauder and how well it shoots too.

I have to admit.. Condor's was NOTHING like what I expected..
