rebreather scam on eBay ??

adrenalin_junkie · 1st June 2008, 13:02

I spotted this one ..... Item number: 170224747442 Not sure if its a scam, The seller is registered as a business seller, I think thats the give away every rebreather I've tracked on ebay that is being sold by a "business seller" has turn out to be a scam!!

whats your view??

Looks like a scam to me. The seller just joined yesterday and has no feedback, that's usually a red flag. His Bidder1 and Bidder2 have no history either.

I reckon it is; I was'nt aware that harnesses, wings and Autoairs had their own serial numbers.
Seller also says the cylinders are in test until Aug 07, O2 clean until Feb 06

if you google the serial number you will get a scam alert in 2006 in yorkshire forum

Brock, want to bid it up to $1,000,000 US?

The description seems to be a bit out of date as well:

3 litre O2 and dill bottles (both in test to Aug 07, O2 clean valid to Feb 06)
