Some commonly asked questions with replies:

-------------------------------------------------

Q. Where can I get Super Soaker replacement parts from?
A. It's been down for awhile, but I finally found the newest Super Soaker Parts Order Form.

According to the page, you just need to "Print this order form and send completed form with payment to the address or fax number below."

Sadly, it's for "US Residents ONLY".

-------------------------------------------------

Q. How much is my soaker worth?
A. This price list was originally compiled by Soakologist in 2004. Exactly where he got the numbers from is something I'm not sure. Current prices are likely similar for most soakers, though.

Here are general Super Soaker prices on eBay (from what I’ve seen over the last four years) and what they were when originally sold. I'm doing the original prices from memory (I've been collecting since '94), so if you're an old-timer and find a flaw, post and either a mod or I will fix it! Shipping Prices are not included.
Now, onto the Prices:

Approximate Exchange Rates for most Super Soaker Countries:
About FIVE (5) US Dollars is SEVEN (7) Canadian Dollars. CAD
About NINE (9) US Dollars is FIVE (5)British Pounds. GBP
About SEVEN (7) US Dollars is TEN (10) Australian Dollars. AUD
About SEVEN (7) US Dollars is ELEVEN (11) New Zealand Dollars. NZD
About SEVEN (7) US Dollars is TWELVE (12) Singapore Dollars. SGD
About ELEVEN (11) US Dollars is NINETY-ONE (91) Chinese Yuan. CNY
About ELEVEN (11) US Dollars is NINE (9) Euro dollars. EUR

With SureSellers, having the box included can add anywhere from 10-25 percent more to the gun's normal price.

Might I add that the bottom ranges are very, very off. For example, the low range of the CPS 2000 is listed at $115, depsite the fact that [more often then you would think] 2000s can dip below $60, sometimes even only into the $40s!

An even funnier example is the low price for a CPS 1-3-5. The listed low is at $15, but the lowest I've ever seen one close at is an awe-shocking 1 cent! I've seen several 1-3-5 auctions never break $5.

Likewise, some of the top ranges are too low. The CPS 2000, again, for example. This year I saw one close at $275, way over the $195 on the list.


The list could use a good overhaul to reflect what the prices actually are.

[isoaker]

With input from the membership, I'd be more than happy to update the list to better reflect current pricing. For extreme cases (i.e. CPS1-3-5 selling for 1 cent), I don't think I'd include that in the list. For those, I'd leave the lower limit at $1.

[DX]

Those I feel need updating. Like Cloud, I am working from "memory" and these will not be perfect, but they are around what I've actually seen in auctions. There is no bias in this list, since I am neither a big collector nor a large seller. Most of the numbers ending in 5 or 0 are approximate, all numbers ending with any other number are actual.

Nice list Dux, it's petty close to the auctions I have witnessed.

[isoaker]

Thanks! I'll integrate the lists soon and erase the non-FAQ posts to keep this thread clean. However, I'll definitely be acknowledging those who help update the current FAQ info.

[Hannibal]

Nice list, Duxburian, I can verify those stats are accurate. One dissagrement: the CPS 3000/3200 normally go for $90, not unusually. The high is like $112.

[DX]

Remember, these were just what I've personally seen. I'm sure people have seen higher highs or lower lows. I'll edit the 3000/3200 ranges.
