Hey, has anyone ever tried going through someone's trash to look for old Super Soakers? We all get desperate sometimes. I can guarantee you that there are thousands of perfectly good blasters to be found there. However, it's a dirty job, and now it's not necessary!
The website www.FREECYCLE.org has been set up to organize people in your area who have junk they want to get rid of. Instead of putting it in the trash to take up space in a landfill, they post on local Yahoo! groups that whoever wants it can come and get it from them. Likewise, if someone is searching for an item, they ask if anyone has one they want to get rid of. The rules are that everything must be FREE.
Someone mentioned this over at Nerf HQ and a few of us joined up. I posted on the Minneapolis boards asking for Nerf guns or Super Soaker, and within a few days someone emailed saying that they had one that I could come pick up.
The top, better condition CPS1000 was what I was given. She also said that if she found her other ones, she would email me so I could come check them out. Now, this is better in larger communities, but there just might be someone that lives near you that is willing to part with their soakers. Might as well give it a try. Good luck!
