Isn't this the new rig Kevin sold on his website last year?

As we say in Hawaii, "garrans, bra!"

This scammer has a lot of history with selling "her fathers" and her "husbands" and "her grandfathers" stuff.

Check out "her" other current items for sale, which include a bunch of tennis ball machines and commercial cooking ranges. There is a dupe posting that "she" tried on a tennis forum here with a different email address. That same email address for the tennis ball machines was also used in previous scam attempts here on the BSAC forums, and here where she attempted to sell a bunch of outboard motors.. "She" of course did not go too long using that email address when "she" got picked up as a scammer on a yoga site here.

Anyone want to try beating my bid on that one of a kind rebreather? My maximum was only $1,500,000...

For that kind of money, the scammer's best move might be to go out and buy one to have for the auction and then hold you to your bid!!

Don't get any ideas, now.

I better shut the "little lady" down just in case ...

Its only at 3 grand! Good value methinks!
Wonder what "her" husband has that he can no longer dive, or as it seems, type on a keyboard, or dictate. Sounds serious..........

I sent the scammer an e-mail with an HTML beacon and what do you know, the ID10T actually opened it up and viewed it from his Yahoo mail account.

65.9.232.25 reverses to adsl-9-232-25.mia.bellsouth.net which is a Miami, FL residential DSL subscriber address. I was thinking more like Romania but not so. Off to the Bell South abuse department....

I put in a massive bid and had it rejected by ebay a few hours later. Looks like this one is still running

You can do that?????

Damn. Going to have to stop opening my mail....

This rig looks very familiar, by the way. At least this time they didn't put "Jurgunsun sez he dun fixed it..." in the ad!
