sporty scam?

Hi guys, have a look at this and let me know what you think...

eBay: Sport KISS Rebreather (item 250028551804 end time Sep-15-06 11:13:42 PDT)

Does anyone know this seller? What I don't like is the "no pick-up"...

Denz.

PS otherwise it would be a very nice deal....

1st those look like European Inspiration cylinders (by the dil and oxygen labels, plus the valves).. So that doesnt bode well for a florida sale..

sencond NO Pickups.. This is a big warning sign..

Agreed, right now, a smokin' deal

. Ran the numbers and "new" I'd guess it would run ~$5300
Shot an email off last night w/questions (like, can I save big $$ and drive down and pick it up?), no replies yet...

I don't like the 'no pickup' part. Lot of divers in Florida including me. Orlando being a 90 minute drive, I wouldn't think of buying this thru the mail if I didn't have to. And a Green bay fan in Florida?

These guys are getting to be as bad as email spammers. Some day, there will be more spam than real stuff. I hope the stock holders dump their shares before then.

Amost sure this is a scam. Was looking to this SK last year July wich was offered on UK ebay (#7166988636 ). The pictures look very simular. The UK ebay seller was gis_arc.

Greetz,

Should be fairly easy for a serious buyer to check the serial number and trace it's history as the community is still quite small. It was the first question I asked when I bought my CK.

Check the sellers profile, nothing in 12 months and previous looks like computer stuff. I would say somebody has had their account hacked.

Yep looks that way to me too, no dive kit at all.

I already emailed the high bidder with a warning and a linkt to here.
Hope she/he takes it to heart.
