Trying to get some vintage gear appraised.

[Curtis Scarbrough]

I know this isn't the proper place to sell gear, and that's not what I'm trying to do here. What I am trying to do is get an idea what a few pieces of gear are worth so I can have a decent ball park starting price for eBay. Here's what I have.
Tank & 2 hose regulator

Regulator price $80-130, Tank $20, Tank pack $10, Wetsuit $not much. Hope this helps

 

[Curtis Scarbrough]

I appreciate the information. Not to doubt your estimates, but I was asked to obtain multiple appraisals by the owner.

I agree with Scuaho's estimate. Everthing looks like it was buried. I have that tank with a perfect decal. It would be worth more if that one had one. Also you never showed a pic of the back of the reg. It could be a blue aluminum body. But I doubt it.

 

[scubaho]

The reg appears to be the black plastic Divair. The Hope Page mouthpiece would also be correct for that regulator.

 

[Curtis Scarbrough]

Scubaho is correct. Black plastic Divair regulator. It wasn't exactly buried, but has been sitting in a house apparently since the 50's

Tank, if in hydro and zip, perhaps $50, means that as is it is about worthless.

The regulator is no a "collectors" item, maybe $20 as a curiosity.

The wetsuit you need to pay someone to haul away, rubber goes bad in 5 to 10 years, even if unused.

Everybody thinks their junk is valuable, but it's mostly just junk. The wetsuit makes me want to clean my monitor with Lysol.

However if you want the actual, maximum possible value, put it all up on ebay. It's worth exactly what someone is willing to pay, and not a penny more or less.

flots.

I appreciate all the input on the value of the gear.

The DivAir has a chance to get back in the water, but as it's a last generation plastic body there's some big "IFS" that go with that. The new owner would have to make a diaphragm for it. As this reg used a bellows type diaphragm, that's not too hard to do. It's a single stage reg with only a few parts, but if the HP seat is done, so are you. Finally, those black plastic bodies were known to crack. If that's the case your also done. With all that, if it can be brought back into service they are really sweet breathing regulators. I have a model B, the aluminum bodied one and I've been diving that on occasion for the last few years. I really like it. It's breathes just as well as My DW Mistral or my Healthways Gold label. That might make a good parts reg for somebody and a Hope Page mouth piece always has some worth. One should be able to pull out $50.00 to someone who knows those regs.
