Looked at the e-bay ad, saw the recommendations. Smelt a rat. Saw he has two units @600 notes + an Azimuth @300 notes. Smelt a bigger rat. E-mailed the vendor (who's apparently based in London) asking for serial nos, got a reply from a Pittsburg e-mail address describing two brand new boxed units, very evasive re: serial nos.
The dead rat it stinking up the house at the moment. Time to talk to ebay I think.

Hi,
I found out the same from my local clubs notice board. He basically confirmed what Steve W said. Why don't we tip off the police in the States? Could someone contact the guy who posted that thanks up?

This Guy has said he is in Germany
Ive had no pic's either
This is a reply ive had from him - am very sorry but COD is not good for me because i need cash asap. But i can do something for you. I send you the unit you send me the money in the same day via wire money transfer and you have 2 days to check and try the unit and you can return and money back 100%
because i don't pick-up the money until you don't confirm me that everyhing is Ok with the unit.
If this is OK for you i can prepare the unit for delivery today.
Let me know ASAP,
Simon

I've had something similar. This is a well-documented scam technique - the unit basically doesn't exist & if you wire transfer money over you'll never see it again. Word to the wise - people who insist on Western Union are generally pulling a fast one. I've reported it to e-bay as a bent auction for what it's worth.

Aw bless him, he even put his yellow cardie in the background to reinforce its authenticity. I, for one, will NEVER buy a rebreather from a guy who wears a yellow cardie. Sartorial elegance begins and ends with black neoprene, preferably crushed.

I know - price up to £1650. Just sent a frantic message to ebay asking them to stop the whole thing before some poor sucker gets relieved of his savings.
Got an automated message back, same as last time. How good is that?
Still, it's all over the boards on all the relevant fora so maybe that'll help.

Heh heh - justed ramped it up to £4200 but someone appears to have set something up so I get outbid by £100 every time I submit. So we're up to £4300 now, for a £3850 unit. Anyone else fancy a go?
EDIT: It's just clicked - what was the maximum you put in Steve?

I offered him £2500 for the unit which he accepted streight away. He of course asked for the mony to be wired to him. I hav said that its no problem as I am often in Germany so if he gives me hiss address I will pop round with cash and pick it up.
I dont expect to here from him again.
