I would say its very badly done. Especialy if the clear pressure chambers are overpainted. Very amateurish, since an experienced painter would have re-tainted the clear plastic or left it original while spray painting around it. Even camo coloured objects have contrasting lines and ridges. Certain parts should have been black only while certain parts should have been green only to at least give a quality presentation. That seller prity much just camoed everything quickly taking the easy way out. If that would be even just a grade 9 art class project, it would be a C+ effort at the most.

I would also say without that pea soup coloured paintjob its very likely that the MXL would be higher by now. The last one went $80 something I think and was $60-$70 in the last 24 hours. But it will be interesting to see how the auction will end.

[Edit]: The camo MXL ended at $16. Bidders generaly are really as dumb as I thought.

CPS 1200

That seller sells two CPS 1200s. So if you want some combined shipping for soakers that are technicaly gold compared to the 2006 lineup, then don't miss out.

1 day something: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....geName= MERC_VIC_ReBay_Pr4_PcY_BID_IT


4 days: [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/SUPER-SOAKER-CPS-12 ... goryZ11745
QQrdZ1QQcmd]http://cgi.ebay.com/SUPER-S....Z1QQcmd[/url] ZViewItem


5 days: [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/Larami-Super-Soaker ... yZ11745QQr
dZ1QQcmd]http://cgi.ebay.com/Larami-....Z1QQcmd[/url] ZViewItem


I would suggest bidding on the 1 day one first. No box means lower shipping. Plus the yellow version has abit more pressure than the grey one(well, you can't have everything). During summer time a CPS 1200 sells for $30 US average, which is no wonder since its a freaking good stock soaker making the 2006 models look like crap(granted, thats not hard to do). I personaly prefer CPS1200s over the CPS1000 and CPS2100 due to its larger PC and pressure. But thats just me.

Some couldn't find this thread due to the forum default cut-off date. This thread just hadn't been updated in awhile.

There's a Monster (2001) on right now. I can testify to the goodness of that gun.

One thing, the person seems to have ripped off the stats without even asking iSoaker or even referencing his site. Isn't that illegal? Should this person be reported?

Yup, that's illegal and against eBay policy. Time to fire an email...

There's lots of guns on eBay right now.

2 CPS 2100's
A CPS 1000 (looks to be in very good condition)
A CPS 1-3-5
1 Monster (2001)
1 Monster 2000 (The Monster X)
1 Monster XL

If anyone can't see the guns for some reason (I'm too lazy to post the links) then say so and I'll give you the link.

Oh, and iSoaker, that guy still hasn't removed the stolen information... ???

Well, that Monster (2001) Auction still has iSoaker's information in it. Are you the one selling it iSoaker? :p The person still hasn't removed it.

As well, here's an Aquapack Devastator auction by the same seller of the Monster, who also ripped off your information.

Aquapack Devastator

What's going on? :(

Evil people... but eBay has made things a little more complicated that involves faxing and signatures to get things removed. Rather annoying...

I've seen many watergun auctions where the seller provided a link to Isoaker.coms armoury showing the item they are selling reveiw. :(

Providing a link is definitely acceptable. However, taking the info and not citing the source are the annoying ones. I actually would encourage those who sell things on eBay to post up links to the various reviews available online as that helps bring traffic into Soakerdom. However, taking info without even an acknowledgement is plagiarism and definitely not cool.

[url=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NIB-SuperSoaker-S ... goryZ11745
QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]This[/url] is just insane, a NIB CPS 2500 for £82 - $150 at the moment and the auction has a fair bit of time to go. Man, I got my 2 NIB CPS 2500's for less than that. How crazy things are in the UK and on eBay in general sometimes.

I may put in a bid on that Overload on eBay that ends soon, I'm not sure though, depends on how much money I have left, even if I don't bid, I'm sure another will come on hopefully.

CPS 2000 MK.1 w/box

That's right, a CPS 2000 Mk.1 with box. I'd never seen a Mk.1 box before. "Raw water power." :angry:

This thing is going to go for a heap. And the guy is selling it at prime time, too. More than $200 or I miss my guess.

The same guy is also selling an [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/VTG-1990-Larami-Sup ... ryZ11745QQ

rdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]SS100 with 2 mini SS 200's[/url], and an XXP275, both with boxes.

There's also an XP150 on eBay, and a [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/Super-Soaker-CPS-21 ... cmdZViewIt

em]CPS 2100 NIB[/url].

EDIT: Whoops! Forgot the [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/1992-Larami-SUPER-S ... ryZ11745QQ
rdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]SS300 Mint Condition[/url]. It'll go for a lot, too. Real nice condition for a 13-14 year old gun.
