This rebreather was advertised on EBay a couple of months ago by someone in Norfolk UK

I believe it may be a scam so be careful

I would never buy a Rebreather on e-bay...better to buy it from someone on this forum that have a reputation,is well known in the Rb comunity and has something to loose on scamming some poor bloke,

Well I'm guilty of it... bought my Rebreather, several cars and numerous other bits off ebay without a problem.

Admittedly when buying cars or the Rebreather I have always gone and checked them out in person first and met the selller.

So long as you use your head and read the ads there is no reason to get unstuck on ebay, its a damn good tool for shifting your cr*p (which could be gold to someone else). Just keep your eyes peeled for w*nkers who think its a tool for peddling stolen goods or fraud and you'll be okay.

Someone ought to go find this Inspiration seller and give him a serious talking too.

I come from and live in the east end of London... "talking" can range from "talking" to more percussive forms of debate... see films such as "Lock, Stock & Two smoking Barrels", "Snatch" and "Layer Cake"

I would never advocate violence but some form of "discussion" with this seller is evidentally necessary, one would hope complaints to e-bay would do but....
