Darn, I was just about to post that stuff. I'm guessing the CPS 2000 goes for somewhere around $245.00. Lets see who gets closer. :cool:

Of course I'm going to bid on that XXP 275. Then I will have all of a series of guns. :p And good guns at that. I just hope those crazy bidders we have been getting lately will be distracted by the MK.1 CPS 2000 and not bid on that XXP 275. I'm crossing my fingers.

XXP175's I've heard are really good. But most don't go for more than $20-30. You've got a very good chance of winning it. And as for the CPS 2000 Mk.1, note I said more than $200. I just meant it would pass the $200 mark. You're probably more accurate about the amount there, though.

Sorry about the double post.

Here's a Monster XL. It starts at only $5!

Item]Monster XL[/url]

But look at the shipping cost. It's $195! :D Two people have bid, obviously not seeing the cost. That seller is gonna make BIG bucks. He's garanteed $200 already!

Like a month ago I saw XXP 175's pass for only 10.00 each, New In Box! I know why it did not go so high. The seller did not state the name of the item but I looked closely at it's picture and it was a XXP 175. I did not get it though.

That seller asked me a question on one of the guns I was selling, he was a bit late though, as its already been bought by someone else. :goofy:

That seller is just, well, greedy shall I say, I bet the shipping is only something like $20-30, and you don't even know the condition of the gun you are getting, as none of the pictures are his, they are just stolen from other places.

I dislike it when sellers overcharge on postage like that to try and avoid eBay fees. eBay are providing them with a decent service - it's just silly to try and avoid paying them like that.

There is a CPS 2500 on ebay with a starting bid of only 5.00 except the shipping is jacked up like that Monster XL's shipping. :angry:

Ok, I feel like a little eBay police officer, but here is a Monster X with an image stolen right off iSoaker.com. You can even see the iSoaker symbol in the corner. Here's the link to the image he stole: iSoaker's MX pic

%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3EQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]Here[/url] is an interesting '06 Max Infusion Twin Pack. Two MI Flash Floods (very nice looking may I say! :goofy: )

When I saw these, and saw that they shipped to the UK, I just couldn't resist purchasing one. :D

I really do like the colours, especially the green and blue one.

Wild Boys, you talking about this? Interesting colors there. Never seen a pack like that. Red and Blue? And only $25 for a set of two. A more fair deal, I must say. $20 for a single Flash Flood is overpriced in my opinion.

Yep, dam, I forgot to link it, I usually link them, dunno what's wrong with me today.

I find it a very good deal, the total even with shipping to the UK in GBP is £35, when it would be £40 for 2 normal ones, which aren't even the nicer colours like on these I feel.

What's even better, is that if you go to the persons store, then there are 92 of these packs, as well as the 3 still available on auction.

I think I may buy another pack just to keep as collectibles soon, don't ask me why, I just like collecting things. :goofy:

EDIT: I put the link in my original post anyway, don't like making things look messy. :goofy:

I don't much care for the blue-and-green colour scheme, but the red one does look smart.

A bunch of good guns just came up on ebay! I see a CPS 3000 with box, a SS 200 and 300 both with boxes, a NIB CPS 4100, an SS 20 with box, and a SS X.T.C with box which I have been waiting along time for. :) :;): :cool:

Phew! The Monster X that ripped off iSoaker's image is going for $128.50! That is WAY more than I would ever pay for a Monster X. Well, high prices signals the start of spring.

EDIT: Sorry about that bad link. This one should work.
EDIT2: I cannot get this to work, for some reason. Try copying and pasting this...
EDIT3: What's wrong? I copy the link to the page that is right in front of me, and it won't work.

Lol, people are crazy these days. And to think, I got a Monster (Monster X type) for free, and all it needed was a rubber band repair and a blast with the hose to clean it internally and externally. :p

I really need to fill and fax one of those darn VERO forms to eBay. I don't mind people linking to reviews, but posting my pics or ripping stats as a substitute for their soaker isn't good. It is potentially misleading since their product may not be in as good condition.

Yeah, iSoaker, your pic looked really nice, as did your Monster X. :;): That may have fooled some, who thought it was in that good of condition.

Man, if Monster X's are going to go that high, I have little hope of getting one. And I was hoping to get one for $40 sometime here...

Well, we all know the CPS 2000 Mk.1 w/box ended for $305.00. More of a suprise was the [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/Super-Soaker-XXP-27 ... meZWDVWQQr
dZ1QQcmdZViewItem]XXP 275[/url] ending for $40.00, and the [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/VTG-1990-Larami-Sup ... ryZ11745QQ
rdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]SS100[/url] ending for $41.00. High prices indeed! I didn't expect the XXP 275 to go over $20, and someone must really want an SS100 for their collection.
