How about some details. For all we know you could be talking about a Systema PTW M4, or a CYMA springer M4. Details, man, details...

If you're think about buying a TM, do it. Simple as that.

Better QC than any brand around, leave it stock and will almost literally last forever. Quality externals, quality internals, and you'll never be able to make a more reliable gun from a clone base.

o ok and if you could how much you think my A&K M4 if worth (i shot like 1000 times) i bought $130 so should i sell like $100?

You might be able to get $100 for it. Just keep in mind that its a clone, so its value drops a lot. I'm selling a Echo1 M4 ver.2 that I bought for $110 for $60, and not getting a huge number of offers still.

regardless of what brand you have don't expect more than 60% of what you paid for originally. Used is used regardless of how much you've used it. Plain and or "stock" guns don't expect more than 40-50%. Also the more unique externally as well as internally will net higher prices. $100 isn't much of a savings for someone who's competent enough to realize that a new one is only $40-50 more at AEX.

Freq is right, you looking at 50-70 bucks for your AEG. I know it seems like a low ball, but thats airsoft. Only a few things will keep a high resale value. Even a new car driven off the lot is already 1/4 + less than what it sold for.
