What's in the pic??

I saw this on e-bay and wondered what you guys think it might be! It does say "SCUBAPRO SPORTEK" on the bladder, but it looks very strange. I think it may well be a scam. Any ideas? Seller says it's new, but they only accept checks!!! I wouldn't bid that way.

Not my day I guess I think it's working now.

Link works. It's not a current Scubapro model. I don't shop eBay, had troubles. I'd rather invest in a new BC that fits that I bought from a LDS. Try rent to own policies with your shop.

Yes, I hear you. You guys think this is really old or what? I'm not interested in buying it, but I'm afraid it is a scam and someone will get burned.

Looks like a ScubaPro S-Tek harness with the SPORTek wing to me.

As to why a seller only wants M.O./cashier's checks, I would guess because this is a new seller to EBay and he wants guaranteed payment. He's probably not set up to accept Paypal and isn't willing to take personal checks. That's fairly common for people who rarely sell items on EBay.

Judging from the wetsuits in the background this may be a sporting goods store or dive shop that is just starting to explore the online marketplace. Most likely its Sports Cove right there in Vacaville, CA.

Umm. That might be right. I never thought of that. Still wary though
