Can't believe it only went for 90 bucks! Thoughts on crashing soaker prices on eBay?

Looks like the AB got a new paint job!

Looking at the first link I was surprised the seller didn't include the cps 2500 as one of the big guns.
I think one of the reasons it went for such a low price was because of how the auction was names.
I'm still amazed at the price though.

I think I've seen the new AB before, but doesn't look very good. Maybe it camoflauges better but the colors are rather fruity and not as serious as the original.

That's a pretty ridiculous lot. That gut got ripped off pretty bad. Oh well, thats why you can't put all guns in one auction too much.

mkhadem, that was exactly my thought. Why wasn't the CPS 2500 the highlight of his collection?

Good deal for the buyer though. I'm starting to think that people who were interested in serious water guns and who only searched for the CPS 2500 and its ilk, maybe they didn't find this auction because the term "CPS 2500" wasn't even in the text. :P

Well, all the featured soakers had their model names on their tanks. The 2500's tank sticker is absent, so the buyer couldn't know what it was. Should've done his research.

I don't know about all of them, but the one pictured in iSoaker's review had stickers on the right side. This article also mentions that the CPS 2000 is known to have stickers on either side.

But still, the stickers could be gone...good point. Or perhaps the seller never bothered to look at the actual water guns (or remember their names) when writing the text. Either way, it was indeed a big mistake not to name the most powerful water gun in his collection, assuming it works.
