As others have said, nothing wrong with the gear at all, if it is in working order. And, if the Excel and the Sherwood reg were purchased on eBay a little over a week ago, you got it for a good price. The BCD is not something that I would purchase, or recommend, but if it works for you, it is a good piece of equipment.I am just getting started almost through with owd. I got a Sherwood Magnum II reg and octo setup a seaquest excel BC. And a aladin prime uwatec. Is this gear good enough for a begginer. Any advice would be appreciated.
