Look Here.

There's SO many of them! This needs to stop. And to think, people actually fall for this junk!

EDIT: There's more at the bottom, and on page 2!

^This was made by Superstormer. What, do you think it got here on its own?

I can't understand why whoever it is has listed so many. The more of an item you list the less money you will get for it.

I've seen those fake 1500 on the UK version of eBay as well.

They didn't do to good at making it look real. You can see the nozzle comes out like a cps 2100.

Everyone who tries to sell ANY soaker that is not a GENUINE Super Soaker and knowingly and wilfully claims falsely that it is SHOULD BE SHOT.

Sorry, just wanted to let that out...

That guy's an idiot. No one's going to buy them. You gotta list a couple of guns first, and see if they sell. Otherwise, you might waste a bunch of money on listing fees for items that won't sell, like this pinhead.
Plus, he's a butthole because he's taking up all that space on our Super Soaker browser. :-[

It's not a problem for me. I just use an advanced search to filter them out...

I am here to inform you of the existance of the period button. It should be above the Alt button and the Space bar, right next to the slash button which is to the left of shift.

Good day.

Does anyone know how good these things are? I know they probably suck, but I was just wondering.

I suppose they are okay, I would only buy them to use as a case for a homemade though (free reservoir too&#33 ;) . Maybe if you did a PRF it would be good. How thick is the plastic on the reservoir (to anyone who has bought one)?

Au Contraire, hardly anybody's bidding on them. He's probably wasted close to 50 bucks on listing fees for items that won't sell.

And please use punctuation. We all use that language, why don't you type it correctly?

Maybe if this guy doesn't sell any of these he'll get the hint and quit trying to sell the damned things. Really, eBay should remove all of the listings, because any time somebody sells counterfeit Oakleys on eBay they always end up removing the listing (whether or not they're clearly marked as fakes), and nowhere does this guy even mention that these are fake Super Soakers. Either way, he'll get nothing good out of this, and if he has any intelligence, he'll give up trying to sell them.

By the way Arshad, it looks like you ignored that PM I sent you. I don't think the moderators are appreciating your lack of punctuation here either, and they can do something about that. Using proper punctuation, grammar, and spelling is generally a good habit to have anyway.
