There are some interesting sales on ebay this week. Since I am not an ebay member yet(I will be soon), I have no benefit from it. But some of you might be interested.

That CPS 3000 is in good condition. I'm not going to buy it though, because I'm broke after trying to collect every Husker Du CD.
Acording to something I heard Cloud say at the old Aquatica iB, the PowerPak's output is just as good as the CPS 2000's. I would love to buy those PowerPaks.

I'll have to see a PowerPak in person to agree with that statement, DoomSoaker, but I have no doubt the PowerPak's an awesome soaker in the right hands. When you think about it, adding a PowerPak to the arsenal of MiB's Deathwalker would make the Deathwalker even more devastating. It's also an effective fall back or quick action weapon for any HWO.

By the way, I found this...

If I would be an ebay member, I would bid on the

XXP 275 ($20)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... tegory=383

and

XP 250

I like the big huge Air pressure Soakers for nostalgic reasons. Plus they are still better than all Max-Ds, EES guns and CPS Soakers with less than 3X nozzles.

My friend had an XP 275 for a while. I wanted to buy it from him but I'm sure he's trashed it by now. It never hurts to ask, though. I remember he was my only competition when I first got my CPS 2000 ( The 275 has something like a 20 second shot time fully pumped.)

The XXP 275 was the most powerful soaker before the CPS series. Other water gun companies should build Air pressure guns like the Classic 300 and XXP 275, since they can not be sued by Hasbro that way. As I said once before, I really would like to see an Air Pressure Soaker with 5- 7 pressure tanks and a 10 litre backpack with a 5X nozzle. It could rival todays CPS Soakers. With 10 pressure tanks one could even have a 11.5X nozzle. One could get creative on how to position that many pressure tanks. Sure, there will be a lot of pumping, but since I use 2 MXLs as twin cannons, Im used to pumping.

I wouldn't mind seeing big Air Pressure guns myself. They'd get me out of Heavy Weapons duty and let me be a big grunt for once. Big air pressure guns could also level the playing field against the 1000,1500, and their ilk.

At the end my Classic 300 would still beat a CPS 2100 or a CPS 4100. The long shot time and backpack could give an Airpressure Soaker an edge over most one piece CPS guns.

Authentic CPS 1500 for $20 at the moment. Seems like a reasonable price.

I have no idea what kind of a soaker that is, but it looks interesting:

Looks like a cheap PowerSoaker clone, almost like the ZX-1000. It probably isn't as good.
