With the attitude I've seen from him so far I'd have to agree with that statement. If you're going to jump on the bandwagon, you probably ought to have reasons. Name them. I could link all the posts with personal attacks that you've made, but it'd be easier for you just look at the last few posts. I'm sure Bill has pointed out at least one by now. Personally, I try to do business with honest people. The fact that you approve of the guy trying to pass off the expired cypres as good tells me alot about your ethics.

bob.dino 1 #89 November 10, 2005 QuoteI have little respect for anyones opinion in this thread who condemed someone without speaking (emailing) to them personaly. I did contact the guy. I also warned the Aussie lady that was high bidder. She didn't realise that the Cypres would've been useless - she was buying it as a birthday surprise for her husband. Was the seller's behavious illegal? No. Unethical? Yes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
docjohn 0 #90 November 10, 2005 There are 2 others Cypres's for sale on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Cypres-DOM-12-96-skydive-skydiving-cypress_W0QQitemZ7195113255QQcategoryZ106980QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem DOM 1996 and http://cgi.ebay.com/Expert-CYPRES-Reserve-parachute-release-system_W0QQitemZ7194787150QQcategoryZ91561QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem DOM 1998 So one unit has 3 years left on it and the other has 5 (if I did the math right). But again, neither ad mentions that these units will expire at some point. Is it the seller's responsibility to point this out? Food for thought. .

bch7773 0 #91 November 10, 2005 I think you're in the right on this one, kel. What the guy did wasn't illegal, but very immoral. And yes, everyone should research crap before they buy it. But is everyone perfect? No. and would everyone quit having childish arguements? geeezus. MB 3528, RB 1182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gravitymaster 0 #92 November 10, 2005 I think the difference is these units are actually useable. The one on this thread isn't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rbanfield 0 #93 November 10, 2005 Doc, You know as well as anyone what the difference is between these with 3-5 years left on them and the one which has already expired but which information the seller chooses to withhold. One key difference is it's illegal in the US to install a unit which is expired because some one thinks it is a matter of public safety. We are not talking about trying to hock a piddly piece of broken electronics here past the warranty period... we are talking about a potentially life-saving and potentially life-endagering device past the end-of-use period. For those people who defend this seller, come on now. We're not saying the seller is acting illegally nor are we saying he should be put in the electric chair... we're saying he's a conniving waste of sperm and those who frown on such behavior and would lift a finger are letting potential buyers in on his scheme. No wonder someone a while ago felt the need to write down "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." You'ld figure any idiot could have figured that one out, but apparently some people dont! The more I listen to the things people say the more convinced I am that I'm a better person.
