Scam or genuine ?

How about this one 150176231678
I quite fancy this.
The seller (!!!!!) has already stated in their ad that they will not accept Paypal.
Have already asked questions .....................

Seller responded with -

" I am in everett wa. 425 773 5866 "

If anyone is interested in having a look.

But, I am pretty sure I have seen an ad before with Inconel Spheres with new costs quoted.

Item sold for $6000 - Wonder if it was real or scam?

**Dsix36** · 28th October 2007, 16:05

Did you see who the buyer was?

Heyydude

ring any bells?

I wonder if it was a Rebreather World member with the same username?

Just something to think about.

Will never know.
I did get further response from the seller.
He gave me some story about the problems he had when he got it, blah, blah, blah.
He had one come to view, then decided that he didn't want any more viewers in case he got some hero from the navy trying to get it back, cos they think it is their property ?
I work for a navy - and we couldn't give a monkey's chuff who has these things - as long as they haven't been stolen - then we would want it back.
Anyway, if it is a scam, it may come back.

Yes, I also sometimes will not accept Paypal for large value items cos of exorbitant fees.

I also saw your Rebreather advert when you posted it.
And there was nothing about it that raised any doubts in my mind.

But in the case for this feed, there were a number of contributing factors ALONG WITH not accepting Paypal, that raised doubts.

In particular the fact that it was a 3 day auction, and the comments in the last paragraph before the photos.

But, your point is still well taken.
