Everyone likes to find a deal on paintball equipment, but here's a little secret - it's almost impossible to find a truly great deal on new equipment. That leaves us to the world of used gear. Whether you're looking for used Army surplus camouflage or a two-month old paintball gun, you can find it used and save yourself a pretty penny in the process.

In my time as a paintballer, I have bought hundreds of pieces of equipment and probably half have been used. While I have been disappointed with some gear, most used equipment has been just what I expected or even better than I had hoped. The problem, though, is finding what I'm looking for at the price I want to pay, whether I'm searching eBay or scouring the local classifieds. If you are adventurous, you can also delve into the world of buying from online forums.

If you're goal is to save some money and you've got the time to look, used paintball gear might be the best way to go.
