Is it me, or has eBay run dry of good guns? This is definitely a drought of good guns... right now the best I can find is a CPS 2100 for power and an XP-75 for collectors.
There is also a lot of 5, with an NI CS 100 and two CS 30s, but those are more for collection than anything else. And all these vile prolific fake 1500s sure don't aid the situation.

Come on, 1700s...

Yeah, I've found eBay UK, never wonderful at the best of times, also to be very short of good blasters at the moment. <_<

I did notice that there are almost no good guns left. The best I could find were 2100's. Almost all were soakertags. :angry:

If it were a special edition (Blue/Orange), it might be worth "oh boy"ing over.

It's as bad as it could be. In fact I think there was a 3000 minus the backpack there, would have been a real steal.

I actually think that eBay is one of the worst places to buy guns these days... yes you will get the old guns but this isn't evolution. It's also in no way worth the cost, I wish there were manufactured water guns as good as previous years, but you shouldn't pay so much to get it.

Heh, the Blue/Orange one was the first gun I ever used, but, my stupid friend left it in his shed over the winter with water in it, the tubes inside it froze and cracked, then he threw it away. :( What a waste, and that could have been fixed with duct tape, hose clamps and plastic tubing. Sigh, people will never learn. ;)

I agree, but you could say the same thing about old muscle cars. Unfortunately times change, and I think we will look back on the 96' to 02' era as the best time for water guns. I hope I'm wrong, but I've seen it happen with too many other things. Know anyone with a 86' Honda 250R 3 wheeler, or 350x? Anyone remember the Mattel Zero M Sonic Blaster? Same deal, they are protecting us from ourselves to the point of absurdity.
