If this ever comes back up (it has been re-posted 4 times with 0 bids!!) you could get a CPS 2500 + a free SC 600 for 45$. Good deal.

And while I'm here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-NICE-HUGE- ... 35c7e63e19

What scares me here is that the seller posts two pictures of two different CPS 2000 MK1 here. Someone should ask, do you get both or just one for 500$?

Why do those 2000 mk1 pictures look familiar? Oh that's right, one's stolen from SSCentral, the other's stolen from iSoaker. I never liked 1minpush anyway.

The shipping on that is overpriced. No way does that cost $30 bucks from IL to here. I shipped a 2000 coast to coast for $19.97, in what was probably a larger box than those 3 150s would need. Always ask for calculated shipping if you see a flat rate given.

Also, with the move to using versions, I think we shouldn't number them, but call them what they are. For the 150, that's the Classic version.

Unfortunately they are used and not new. Still cool that the owner kept those boxes though. I don't see anywhere on the gun or the box where it says "classic version." I think we get too picky about these things. We are allowed to use marks here, but not here, and then it becomes difficult to keep up with. This is the 3rd known release of the XP 150. Each of the 3 releases has distinct physical differences, which make them their own marks. Thus mark 3, pretty simple and easy to keep track of I think. I don't have a problem with people also saying "classic version," if that's the name you want to use, but it's still a distinct mark, and it's just way easier for me to think mk1, mk2, mk3. Kind of like with the Monster X, it's just so much easier for me to remember mk1, mk2, mk3 than Monster (2000), Monster X, and Monster X (2002 or 2003). I don't have a problem with people who want to write out the full name, but I don't think it should be looked down upon for some of us to just simplify it by mk1, mk2, and mk3.

I agree, any gun where it has a distinct physical appearance should be fair to call a mark/version/variation of whichever order they were released. In the case of the Monster X, I am quite happy to see the MK 1 (where the sticker and box says Monster) the mk2 (which now says monster X) and the mk3 (which has the shortened body and a black color scheme). Thing is it takes much longer to explain than just to number them. In the case of the XP 150, I don't recall the difference off hand between MK1 and MK2 150's. Something about pegs on the body or something.
I don't really care which system you use as long as I know what you are talking about.

There is a MK2 CPS 2000 on ebay now, $12 is the current bid:

Why are 4100s and hydro cannons selling for so much?

Edit: there are lots of NIB 70s right now on ebay. There are also quite a few backfires, XP85 triple shots, and 1-3-5s on ebay now for some reason. :xpbackfire:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Speed-Loader-Do ... 4174cccba6
Buy 3 NIB speedloader 3000's, for only 29.97, and get free shipping! For 10$ per gun, that's a steal. If you've ever wanted to try a Speedloader, I highly recommend that you pick up some now.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1997-LA ... 27d5a3e308
Amazing condition, won't go cheap.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Larami-Super-So ... 3cd40f4cfc
Definitely a CPS 2500 with a PC rupture! For 10-20$, you can fix this with a chunk of LRT and make a very powerful 2500.

A Monster X, MK2. New in open Box. It may not be sealed, but it's like mint condition.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2000-LARAMI-SUP ... 4858052faf
Looks like a CPS 1-3-5 MK2 in mint condition.

And a quite cheap 1700 if you can make a pump.

Are those speed loader 3000s actually NIB? The seller has positive feedback and has 10 for sale, so I might get one ($17 shipped if you only buy one).

Just want to point one thing out about this. the bid price may be really low, but he is charging $70 in shipping. Just figured I'd point that out before someone got exited about the $0.99 starting bid.

Do speed loaders have PRVs? It seems like they might not be safe to charge from hoses otherwise.

Edit: I just checked the MX, and it says $20 shipping.

The speed loaders do have PRV's, they are actually a part of the bladder itself. It's actually kind of annoying, as it causes the gun to fill up with water and drain out the little holes. That being said, if you disable the PRV, when the gun is full it's almost impossible to keep it pressed into the QFD. So problem solved.
I contacted the seller, they are NIB . But I mean, sure I could buy one for 17$, or two for 28$, but why not say screw it and get 3 for 30$? You'd be crazy not to get 3.
The monster X shipping depends on where you live.

I need to do that to my SL 1000, it's PRV is over reactive and can run it dry in a few minutes.

Can you load the speed loader 3K though either nozzle? I am probably going to get some.

You mean that the gun empties itself after a few minutes? Wow. That's... different. The good news is that it's super easy to disable the PRV; all you need is a zap strap.

Yeah, the speedloaders with two normal nozzles (1500,2000,3000) can be filled and fired from either nozzle, since the filling valve is the firing valve. If I hadn't already spent my money on a CPS 2000 and some LRT, I would have bought 3 myself lol.
