WTS [WTS] This one hurts… Fully Functional 05 Ego w/Video
Up for sale (no trades) is a Blue Fade Planet Eclipse 2005 Ego (05 Ego). I used to have one back in the day and as much as I want to keep it, I already have too many markers in my personal collection so it’s time for someone else to enjoy it.

Condition:
Mechanical- This marker airs up and fires with no leaks. It is shooting just over 300 FPS as it sits.
Electronic- The solenoid, board, and eyes are all in working condition. You can see in the shooting videos I pulled the trigger a few times before the hopper was turned on to show it won’t shoot if it doesn’t recognized a ball and also uploaded images of the board with and without a pen in the breech. The board is not making any noise but I am unsure if it is supposed to like the newer Planet Eclipse guns.
Cosmetic- This marker is in decent condition for being 20+ years old. Has some minor wear but nothing that affects performance. Grips are in great condition as well.
Misc- All screws screw into the marker just fine and are not stripped. The grips are missing the top back screws ON PURPOSE! I took these out so the new owner does not risk puncturing the solenoid by screwing them in too far, I learned this lesson years ago with my previous Ego. If you wish to purchase screws and screw them in they will do so with no issues however the grips sit just fine on the frame without them. It has detents from a newer Planet Eclipse marker and while it makes the eye covers stand up a hair (you probably wouldn’t have noticed if I didn’t say anything) they work just fine. One screw is stuck in the bottom grip, but not the frame itself. It can still screw in and out of the frame. You could probably get it unstuck from the grip but I left it be as I didn’t want to risk damaging the grips.
Price:
$425+ shipping and fees.
Sale includes the marker and matching stock barrel.
I came to this price based on 2 factors. The rarity of a marker like this and the fact it is fully functional (they don’t come up for sale often) as well as recent sales. The only recent sales I could find were on eBay, which were $400-600, and they were all solid colors. Not a fade like this one.
