I just discovered the intersection of stupid and greed on Ebay. Someone is selling a “Vintage Aqualung Octopus Regulator Scuba Diving VINTAGE NEW OLD STOCK UNUSED $300.00. Such a deal!

CJ, yeah, that one is good for a chuckle, isn't it? What would be even funnier is, if someone actually bought it though JB

How about that Royal Aquamaster for $1,800 + $50 shipping. Huh. Still hasn't sold. It even says Navy Seals in the title.

At least the RAM is a complete regulator. The seller of the “octopus” doesn’t know what he is trying to sell.

Seller knocked off 5% ! Get your checkbooks out. I predict it will bid up to exactly "no sale."

Several years ago I sold my 'never in the water' (according to the fellow whom I bought it from). DA.....was on a display shelf in his late dads scuba shop).......sold it to a Italian fellow who claimed to be a certified Hard Hat diver.......well, he received it and wrote me back that it was dented on the edge (the bevel on the valve yoke side) and had scratches......I had noted in my ad that it had handling scratches.........Me thinks he was trying to scam me as he claimed the duckbill should also fit across the inside, not stop at the center.......Beware of the World wide experts.....~

I don't know, but it looks to me like it is just the second stage at that.

They should have. That would have thrown everyone for a loop! Talk about confusion. "I have an Octopus." Yeah, so what? You're supposed to." LOL! Truth be told, I didn't notice it was actually marked "Octopus". Dang, I don't have one of those yet. I neeeed it.

If you want to turn one you have into an octopus, I think I've got a few of those stickers.
Here's a quiz for you:
What is the difference between a US Divers Octopus 2nd stage and their standard second stage?
Good Dives, Charlie

I might check out Ebay from time to time, but hardly ever buy anything there. Way too overpriced on so many things there! Mark
