seems worth the money only if u want to collect some history. otherwise for the same cash u can get an 18 mth old evo x or eclipse cocker
predator autococker

If it was one actually used by one of the Preds, it should be sweeeeet. A friend of mine (ex-Pred himself) used his recently at a tourney & it's still rocking after all these years.
BUT - and this is a big but - his is still set up exactly the way it was when he played with the Preds. If the marker for sale has been through a few pairs of hands then it's probably been fiddled with (why oh why do all Cocker owners have to fiddle with their markers even when they are running fine?). Part of the incredible performance of these Cockers was the way they were set up, so if it's changed then you can't be sure it will run as well as in the "old days".
However well it's running, don't forget that it will be around 8 years old now & you may well get something as good but much younger for similar money.

Because its FUN!
If we didn't fidle with our cockers we'd have to find something else to fill our time

Predator Autococker. An elegant weapon from a more civilised age.
If I could, I would frame and mount it. I always wanted one but had to settle for a 'standard' Jetstream. When I ordered mine back in '96, the Cyclone barrel was out of stock so the twin deities of Belsales gave me a Predator barrel instead. She's been totally dependable through years of harsh treatment, but I've always yearned for a Predator. Trust your instincts...

hmmm
how can you yearn for a predetor when you have the almighty god of all cockers...*The Eblade* ....(bow down)
(its eric btw, who was marshalling at campaign when you were down once) you may/may not remember me!

I want one for the same reason someone would want a classic car or a medieval sword. It's a piece of history celebrating a technical achievement from a time gone by. The Predator Evoloution was top of the food chain back then, to own one showed you meant business. Although I'd be hard pressed to part with £450...
Eric, you at the Big Game this weekend mate? Which platoon are you in?

i am the guy with the pred cocker and sorry toole i cant trade it i have just realised what they are worth and they rip as well i still find it the most accurate gun i have ever used just as good as an E-Blade and the pred cocker looks cool too. my pred cocker is still origanal (no modifications at all) and looks exactly the same as the one in the picture further up some guy got. im temped to put mine in a cabinet with glass windows to admire. but still i do need money or i could use it because it does rip. argghhhhh what to do. I dont know!!! any input on what to do guys.
the worst thing is going to be finding a person whos after this for its history, not for using it in the future so much. its like an antique of a marker and will be hard to find a buyer. if somebody is after a first marker, this is definitely not for you, unless ya loaded. coz ya can go out there and find a cocker for 150 quid if ya lucky.
a marker such as this, can be worth god knows how much if you find the right buyer. i would guess at plenty more than what your asking now.
