I seriously laughed at that. My 6000 broke a little while ago, but I haven't opened it yet because I've been busy with the 1200.
I actually had an XP 310 for a few days; I brought one off ebay (It came with 10 other soakers, including my 2700.), but when the package arrived, the 310's reservoir had somehow cracked off. It was fine in the picture, so I assume it broke during shipping (That's another way a 310 will break.

). We sent the guy an email, but someone accidently deleted his reply...
I ended up throwing the 310 away, which was a colossal mistake, now that I look back on it; I could have easily given it a replacement reservoir, perhaps even a backpack, but it didn't cross my 14-year-old mind.
Back on topic, I don't think I'd want used Max-D blasters either, even though my 3000 and 4000's, all of which I got from ebay in that same purchase, haven't broke yet, though I don't use them nearly as much as I used the blasters that did break, like my 6000 and Arctic Blast.
