Hey guys,

As the title says i'm looking to buy a CPS 2000 mk.1 and a CPS 3000. I would like it to be working but will buy broken if the price reflects that.

I'm from Australia so i'm guessing you will have to ship international. I can pay with paypal

Feel free to send me a pm or reply in thread.

Thanks - Kane

I wish you good luck^^

The CPS 3000 is rare and hard to find. and the CPS 2000 Mk1 is something VEEERRRY seldome, may even the hardest Soaker to find under all Soakers...

In Australian the water warfare season is starting, right ? :cool:

It should be the middle of summer there. The rarest Super Soaker is the XP 300, by the way.

yea just the start of summer here maby had one decently hot day... I think ive got the 3000 covered as 2 of my friends have broken ones that i can combine to make a working one and hopefully fix both broken parts as well
one has a stuck gun and the other a broken backpack

i remember back in the summer of 2001 my friend had all the 98 cps range exept the 2500 and he ended up getting the 2700 we were so dissapointed on how it looked compaired to the 2500 in the catalogue

also if anyone has some xp-90's i'm looking for a couple of them too

I might be interested in buying the broken gun if shipping is cheap. ;)

When you are willing to sell broken parts, tell me, I am always interested in broken guns and I will pay you a good price :)

Are you sure ? The CPS 2000 Mk1 was produced just about a half year till they released the Mk2 I think. But I am not sure, which one is seldomer till both are very rare :)

The CPS 2000 isn't particularly rare. It's very desirable, because it's the most powerful commercial toy blaster ever released. (Note that doesn't mean it's the best in a water war; it has the prominent drawback of emptying itself very quickly.) As such it fetches some of the highest prices. But if you're willing to pay, getting one isn't that hard.

I reckon the Super Soaker Bow and Arrow is up there with the rarest. Also, specific models of the various keychain blasters might be very tough to find.

This SOaker is not known to me and also isoaker.com does not have information about this. Can you post an image or something like that, so I can imagine ? OR how does it performe etc.

If you mean the Bow & Arrow, isoaker has a sketch, but little else http://www.isoaker.com/Armoury/Analysis ... r_bow.html

VAJMH, on this forum, owns one and posted a review, http://forums.sscentral.org/t6034/
This guy: http://www.wcnews.com/chrisreid/ has a pair too, they can be seen in the upper-left photo, centre-left below the tree, one boxed and one unboxed.

I love this guy :D He is from America I think, right ? SO much Super Soakers...great :)

Once I thought I should also get such a big collection, but this is more or less only able to if you live in the USA, the inventory state of the SUper Soakers... I do also pay 80-90 dollars in Austria for a CPS 1000, which is 20-40 dollars in USA...

But ok, I do now have more than 80 Soakers, mostly CPS, and I am quite satisfied :)

I am for sure the biggest collector of whole AUSTRIA :D :cool:

Yeah, Bow & arrow is rare, but so are some of the older ones, like the Double Bottle Blaster, Mighty cannnon, and in general the older piston guns are rare, mainly because they broke or got thrown out.

Edit: Oh, finding a SS 2000 isnt hard, getting one for a reasonable price is hard. Same for any of the CPS line, except maybe the 1-3-5 :D

It is obvous that you get a working CPS 2000 Mk1 for 1000 Dollars...

I meant for a normal price, but fair price is in the eye of the seller :D
