Oxy acetylene gear on ebay

[AndyStobbs]

Not my auction, just happened upon it while browsing. Good price if bottles are indeed full. Bad price if they aren't. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151235191592&globalID=EBAY-GB

That'll be pulled as soon as BOC spot it,

zero feedback but it is collection. If only and I wish, but unless you have a friend to swap bottles, how do you fill em, are the bottles not ID registered now?

For £200 just run them out. And you've got a trolley, regs, hoses and blowpipe to start with on the rent free road.

 

[AndyStobbs]

For that money I would just run them to empty. Get a set of regs, hoses, blowpipes and trolley to start on the rent free road.

I think it is the BCGA that monitor it in conjunction with ebay. Seen them get pulled within hours of the listing starting.

I wonder if they use word recognition software to find such postings, Oxasetiline** is not going to be picked up is it.

I thought he was just a hopeless speller, but that's a good point Paul. Could be very crafty.

and by the time they do someone would have pm him and struck a deal beforehand

In which case it may suggest the whole lot is a bit hooky!

Late 70's regs, bottles probably of a similar age looking at the necks. Avoid at all costs!!!

As said avoid at all costs looks very old and probity not in safe condition. Bcga recommendation is new reg and hoses after 5 years. Also the cost of new gear is not stupid money and unless you want to gas weld propane and oxy is fine

That's exactly what I've done. Bought myself a new Hi Lo torch, flash backs, regs and hose. Just waiting for the oxy and then all systems go
