Who is selling the mk15 on ebay?

jont · 6th December 2005, 20:09

This is a guy based in Europe, who has been selling these units for years. There is an ongoing investigation, however since its not hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars we're talking about, the chance of him being caught are slim. Various law enforcement agencies are aware of this guy (Canada, US, UK, Denmark) is what I am aware of.

Lets find him, dress him in a DUI drysuit 104s and all Halcyon gear, and I will stuff him into one of the caves I have been rumorred to sneak dive.

What about the old Nursery School rhyme we all learned years ago?

" Two in the Head, you know there dead " ??

Dude....would you really waste the DUI and 104's just to make him look like he's one of THEM?! Screw that. Put a pair of jeans and a HUGE belt buckle(with the name Bubba) on him, and stuff him in Telford. They'd think he was one of the dumbass locals that tries to freedive the cavern.

I never learned that one....I was always taught "2 to the chest, 1 to the head"...but it wasn't a rhyme, it was just my dad.

Well...that and his other saying.... "select full auto and just squeeeeeeeeeze!"...

well that would work too, but it would be more political mud slinging my way.

Strange since the ‘double tap’ is considered the calling card of the Special Air Service in certain circles.

Please keep in mind, here in Texas we have gun shows that take up entire convention centers. I would be more scared of the locals then proffesional services. The proffesionals don't skin most things they kill; with their truck.

Hi all,

I wrote the seller of that MK15 an email, and he/she did not respond, and then the auction was pulled. In my email to them, which I stupidly deleted fro my system, I specifically asked for pictures of the primary, secondary and the horeshoe board. The person did not reply to my email.

I just got an email from a person on a yahoo account who indicated they have a similar MK 15 for sale. The person signed the email Athanasia.
Does anyone know if this person is legit. Note, I did not bid on the auction.

I emailed the person today requesting detailed pictures of the horseshoe board, primary, secondary and electronic pod. Is there a way to tell from Kevin J. once the pictures arrive if the unit is legit. Does Kevin keep a database of who owns units he services or sells?

The text of the email, cut and pasted, is as follows:

Dear eBay member,

I apologise if I disturb and won't waste your time with my offer but I saw that you are interested about a CCR 1000/MK15 REBREATHER. I have for sale this product, is like the one you are bidded on. I am willing to sell this for a good price for bouth of us: EUR 1,900.00(shipping included). I am looking for serious and legit buyers and also I ask for mutual respect.
Thank you once again and I hope that you will find the time to reply and maybe we can make a deal.

Respectfully yours,

Athanasia
