I wanted to ask you guys if I made a good choice? With the economy the way it is this is the only way I can get the equipment I want. I deal with ebay all the time for other things and this guy which his rating is 100% had a brand new oasis with sherwood octo and guage up for auction I jumped on it. He only sells dive equipment. I know I won't have a warranty but in the pictures I think I do see the service rings? But I had him end the auction for $400 shipped. So I want to ask you guys what do I do when it comes to servicing and when it does come what can I check on it to make sure it is new?Sherwood Oasis pro scuba regulator/gauges/brand new - eBay (item 260458604832 end time Aug-11-09 18:38:37 PDT)
Sherwoods are about the most bulletproof regs out there. Even if it's not new, it can be made like new just by simply servicing it. Parts are cheap, if it's not under warranty, free if there are any warranty rings left. This reg will probably NEVER let you down, no matter how badly you treat it. It's like a dog in that respect.
Thanks guys. This guy seems to sell these quite often. He told me it came from the shop and it is Brand New. with all warranty rings? Plus the sherwood Oasis is $360 at my LDS. So at least I know by doing this it will get me down where the Bugs are this season.
You may already know this. The first stage on that Sherwood will emit a small stream of air bubbles. This is a "self-cleaning" feature, and equals about one breath of air per dive.
Yes I knew that. I will still have my friend from work look at it he services all his own sherwoods and is a Divemaster. And I have 7 days to return it if I want. The only thing is there is no box or warranty cards. But thats OK.
I purchased all my regulators, with the exception of my Kirby Morgan stuff, used either through the newspaper (back before ebay) or on ebay. Just have the gear serviced or rebuilt and your good to go. I think my Sherwood Blizzard is close to 30 yrs old. Works fine. And I found out that Sherwood has parts to build them for Nitrox use too, which is extending the life of my old regulators.

Most warranties are for 1 year. I doubt that you would get any warranty work without a receipt showing the original sales date. Except for the manufacturers that provide free service parts if you keep the annual service up, a warranty is of no use after the first annual service.
