Why do eBay think that's a good idea? You'd probably be asked to leave a physical auction house if you showed up wearing a mask.

I do not think so. It may beat some XPs but that is all. I got one, it uses a double-stream but neither powerful nor good range or soakage. Lost money to my mind.

Supposively someone's selling a NIB MXL. Thing is, they stole the picture and description from iSoaker. And they claimed it to be an original MXL, but the picture shows the 2002 version. Not only that, they claim it's the most powerful water gun ever made.

"PERFECT GIFT BEFORE CHRISTMAS HURRY!!!"
(Yes, because people prepare their gifts for the holidays 9 months in advance.)

I think that description was stolen from another description that was stolen from iSoaker.

Do they even read the stolen description before they use it?

I know some people who just see how many bids there are, and if there are very few, something is probably up.

Up on eBay is an arctic shock. The seller says that it is CPS. He even goes and describes CPS tech. Please report this auction

That's actually just a person trying to make use of the two seconds of information that he found with a google search instead of asking the questions to understand what he's talking about. While negligent, I wouldn't think that he was knowingly lying, just ignorant. You might want to point him to a link that shows how the arctic shock works, or the principles behind ap guns.

And again with a Gorgon. He says it is Hydro Power. And he is selling it for 3-4 times retail, when it is currently availible. If it was HP, though, might be nice, but I highly doubt it.
