Or buy an Atomic T3. Lifetime warranty and should last me forever. I bought it because I can, not because of a warranty.
The warranty and parts for life programs are separate. The yearly service interval is mainly to keep the parts for life active not the warranty. Scubapro has a lifetime warranty and their Subgear brand has a 30 year warranty. Most regulators will last forever if taken care of properly.

That particular reg will have cost the buyer just under $70 with shipping, they got a full set with octo and gauges that was fully serviced and with Conshelfs being as reliable as they are can be abused for a good 3 years (probably much longer) and not need a thing done to it.
I watched that auction and set up a snipe but I was a bit low. Even without the service getting a Navy class A regulator for $70 with octo and gauges is an excellent deal.

I've bought a few regs off ebay and I had every single one serviced once I received it. I wouldn't trust anyone's claim to it being serviced and advise others to do the same. Unless you know the seller and the reputation of the seller it's just not worth it.
Buying regs off eBay? Another dive professional doing it cheap. lol
