He takes PayPal and only ships to selected places... those suggest it's real. Doesn't use a studio pic stolen from a website. Doesn't offer the sun and the moon, either, but doesn't seem to have a reserve price which I'd consider normal for something with that kinda value.

And this has scam written all over it !

This was my question -
Hi, I have already bid on this, but have plenty of questions.
It will will far simpler if we can have a chat over the phone.
So, would you be kind enough to send me a phone number (and a good time to call), and I will give you a call.
I see you are new to ebay, so please do answer this email, because so many of the rebreather auctions are scams and emails don't get answered.
Regards

And this is his answer (which was sent outside of ebay mail system) -
I can sell the item to you if you make me an offer.
If you are interested, please let me know your best price including postage cost.

And my reply -
Hi, Is this a SCAM ?
Because you avoided my question !!!!
How can I make you an offer before I know what I want to know about the kit ?????
Regards

I need a bigger stick !

I ask the seller if I could view the unit......guess what no reply, put my money on it being a 100% scam

Always worry about a UK seller who quotes cylinders in cubic feet and weighting in pounds. Suggests the info is copied from a US advertisment.

Also non-standard harness & wing.
