Hi All, check these two out 250212640165 & 320215119606 .....both sellers have NO feedback, I've sent messages to both sellers asking if I can veiw the rebreathers. I'm waiting for a reply from both sellers!!!

I'll put me money on SCAM ......place your bets

Saw them this morning.

I've asked the "seller" of the second one, the "Inspitation"

a few basic questions to do with age, servicing, etc.

No answer yet, and I won't be holding my breath either

Be kind! Where other than eBay is there to sell stolen gear?

adrenalin_junkie · 5th February 2008, 18:24

I doubt very much they have any "stolen gear to sell"........ I bet my bottom dollar they have got f--k all to "sell"

The seller of of item No 250212640165 has added

>>>>>>>>Time wasters, Rebreather World: Be prepared for abuse!!
On this note it seems that armchair divers on Rebreather World have decided that this is a fraudulent transaction, please see EBAY scams forum for details, I am sure Stuart does not want his members using his site to publish your completely uncorraberated accussations, cause that would mean he would be liable as you are, idiot for publishing it! <<<<<<<<

This is a message to the seller of item No 250212640165. If it's not a scam why not upload a picture of the rebreather showing the rebreather with newspaper showing todays date, either on this site or ebay

There are to many scams on ebay by sellers with NO feedback. if you wish to stop the Rebreather World abuse I suggest you do the above!!!

Or, if he/she is a reader of Rebreather World, why not post here to tell people that it is a genuine deal. That's what others have done successfully - works for them and works for the buyers.

No side on this one at all - I haven't even looked at the eBay listing. Just some advice. Having said that, I would not shell out for something that had been flagged as dodgy here.....

Cheers,

Ain't going to get 5.5k for a nitrox evo when the tx version is 5.5

May well not be a scm but defiantly a chancer / piss taker, well over priced. Whatever the £200 insurance is won't be transferable APD's warranty is as I understand non transferable.

If you look at the sellers ID it *could* be alan edwards (fishfinger on here).

Either way, for a £5.5k unit where the guy is offering proof of purchase paperwork... who wouldnt physically go and collect anyway? Maybe Im just tight, but I wouldnt be doing that sort of transaction without physically going and collecting it

Could be, still overpriced a brand spanking Evo of that spec is £5,296.99 (Evolution Rebreather)

So it does look like an genuine sale, no scammer would think of overcharging.

I wouldn't touch it at that price, you can get more for less new.

looks like a few people could be wrong on this thread, as the other one (item 320215119606) also seems genuine as I have a phone number for the owner
