Well, it depends on the type of marker you are looking for. If you are a new player and want to try paintballing for fun, then you should go for a marker which is around $200 to $300 (not more than that). Trust me, you don’t want to spend mad money on a paintball gun only to find out you don't enjoy playing it anymore. On the other hand, if you are an intermediate or professional player who likes to play competitively, then you should invest in a mid to high-end marker. A mid to high-end marker can cost about $500 to $1500+.
