I think I almost got screwed

[Bizill]

A whopping $50 off new....scammer. 

ETA: pending review, if one is ever done, there may have been a misunderstanding as I don't think OP knew that Fuko had 2 tanks.  Doesn't mean an attempted scam didn't take place.  Just sayin'...

I really don’t want to get in a ^*%$#@ match with anyone. 
I had some money in my paypal account from selling some ATV tires that day and thought I could wrangle a deal.  I’ve made good deals before on stuff.
Since it’s not happening, let’s not worry too much about it.

Good thing is that it's not happening and you've made the point that we should all be aware that this kinda garbage exists.
Thanks for that.

Fuko started his for sale thread 6 days before his supposed "dropped" thread.  2 days after his "dropped" thread he mentions he's selling the one NOT dropped.  He did state he has 2 tanks in the "dropped" thread....

His retort to my negative feedback "dots" AGN uses...

"Aww comon man i told the dude about the thread and sent pictures. He offered me 400$ for the new tank i have and i just offered him the cracked tank because he was far below my sought price. I even offered a refund if it failed inspection. Im getting it inspected now too. So please can you not dock me accuracy for this?"

Is FukoChan legit?

Monstermaxx, I think you may have jumped the gun on this one and you didn't realize he had 2 identical tanks?

[kzz1kaw]

I'm speechless wow😳

There was no mention of two tanks anywhere in our conversation until I searched out his name, found his other threads and read it in the damaged tank thread.  That was not disclosed at any time.  Certainly not that the community labeled the tank as junk.

He offered to 'split' the shipping with me which he estimated at $50 and have me test the tank.  So half the shipping to me, shipping to a hydro facility for inspection and shipping back from them would have been the least I was adding to the $400.

Not a good deal even w/o it maybe being junk.  Then who's going to pay all that shipping?  Him?

I'm out on this one, will either buy new or someone else's.  For now, I'll continue using my steel scuba tank.

Thanks for the update MM.

On my old Fire dept. we would have removed that tank from service. They used to send then back and the company would check to see if they could refurbish the unit.

I have faith in what Keith says as he's the one in another thread who explained the abuse firemen put these through and that they're tougher than most give them credit for.

Thanks Bizill,

I only know what we did to them we always used Scott bottles and they were though. But any damage like seen on this bottle would need checking by the mfg. And would definitely be taken out of service.

It seems FukoChan would like ALL of our PMs posted.  He says I'm not being fair so here they are, direct copy/paste:

Locked for admin review.

Okay, this thread has been locked by staff pending admin review.
Well, here I am reviewing.
Posted Fact - the seller dropped and possibly damaged the cylinder.
Posted Fact - several have said they SAW a post on AGN where he was discussing the possible integrity of the cylinder.
Posted Fact - the seller DID disclose the cylinder was dropped and damaged BEFORE the deal was sealed.
So, where's the fraud here? He posted in public that the cylinder had been dropped and possibly damaged. And even made it known to the buyer BEFORE any funds were exchanged.
And the seller has stated that IF the cylinder does not pass inspection and hydro certification, he would refund the money.
Now I have to ask, WHAT is the problem? WHY slander someone needlessly?
Have the cylinder inspected and hydro tested. Or find out from an official D.O.T. inspector if it is still serviceable. Especially BEFORE throwing someone under the bus!!!!!!
And before you ask him a chance to take the cylinder back and refund. Or did I miss something where you have already asked him for that?
Now I have a new membership application waiting from a fellow that will most certainly want to tell his side and defend his position. I can't knowingly open the door to a feud. So I suggest you have the cylinder inspected and tested if possible. And if it's unserviceable AND the seller will not do as he claimed, then you have something to complain about. And can post in the Buyers, Sellers and Traders Gate. But FACTS only. No slanderous remarks formed by opinion.
Communicate with the seller.....please.
Ya'll have a great evening.
