Where, used? Also note the one in the pic is 77ci.
But OP, it looks like the 68ci's sell for less than the 77's:

So you could save a good bit going with the slightly smaller tank. But if you think you might upgrade your marker at some point, maybe it's worth investing in the marginally bigger/lighter tank. Really though I don't think there's anything wrong with what you have there.
If you have more questions about the gun, ask/PM me.

Best part about an automag is that they are completely modular. want a different body later? upgrade it. want an xvalve in order to keep up with faster guns? upgrade it. want a better grip frame? upgrade it. want a better rail? upgrade it.
aand now you have two guns.
Some really solid advice. As it turns out, Full Auto isn't allowed on the course I played on last weekend, and I'm not sure if we're going to get to do any woodsball this summer (I live in Alaska, so it's a short season), so I guess I'll focus on Speedball and consider a woodsball marker for next summer if I can find a game.
I prefer to purchase things on Amazon so would you mind looking over this list to make sure I'm getting the right things?

Gun

A note about the gun: I am really hesitant to splurge on the Ethas, because while it comes pretty highly recommended, I just can't get over the fact that it looks like a toy. Also, it seems that it's more suited to speedball, and I particularly want to maintain the delusion that I'll be able to find some woodsball games. Am I going to have any issues with trying to woodsball with the Ethas?
$10 Regulators from eBay? The ones I've seen have 1+ month shipping estimates... I'm so spoiled by Amazon.
How well would these items work?

Sorry for my Noobness but what excactly is an SLP (I assume that means slip?) Tank and how do I know if I am getting the right tank. Was going to get one from amped but they are sold out right now so I was looking at this one.

I don't believe they're being made any longer. I have two of these.
They're cheap to buy used. Usually cost less than $50. Their life span lasts as long as they keep passing hydrotests. But, they are heavy.
Here's another option with a cheaper (smaller) tank, different regulator, better diffuser, and a less expensive bubble counter.
not really. the gun is okay, i guess. You can easily do better though. most of the stuff that kit includes are just old/dated items that retailers are trying to unload on people who don't know better.
if youre trying to stay on the cheap side, something like these would be a better option. The most important thing is going to be a good, comfortable mask. i'd prefer a JT proflex over a flex 8, but i couldnt find one on amazon. you could easily find one for the same price on other paintball specific sites. other than that, you have a high quality air tank, a high quality budget marker, and a high quality budget hopper that will actually feed paint. The only thing this doesn't include is a pack and remote which i think you should do without for now. if you need a pack, those can be had for as low as $25.

Okay, if you are using an SLP tank, you don't need another regulator. Get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/3Skull-Paintball-Thick-Remote-Line/dp/B000X2F5EQ except make sure that it has a QD adapter that is fit for your mag.

Drop checker or do I need to get one of those too? Also, should I be dosing stuff on top of this CO2 setup? Like should I use Excel and other stuff still?
Ohhh ok, wasn't sure if you tried cutting the top off of it or not.
