Hello ScubaBoard Members.
First of all I am rather beginner recreational diver diving so far only warm Caribbean waters. I have around 60 dives on the clock and on average I do 15-20 dives a year. So far I was using rented regulators, every time different one, sometimes in not so perfect condition condition so for some time I was thinking of getting my own, a used one but in good condition, get it checked before a dive. Something decent, easy nothing fancy but reliable. A few days ago I came across a set for sale. Looks like it was used at diving school. Set up includes:
Mares MR22 1st Stage
Mares "Abyss" Primary
Mares Octopus
Sherwood Gauge
Inflator Hose
Seller says that this regulator has been fully serviced by a certified repair technician and has been equiped with all new service kits and parts and is fully functional. I'm attaching a picture of this regulator and a set up. By the way asking price for this is $200.00. All your experienced advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Maria

This appears to be an older Abyss, but these things are bullet proof. They can use all the current parts such as the tri-material sets.

If it has recently been serviced the $200 would be a very far price, in my opinion.
 
I think that you'll enjoy it.
 
They're bulletproof and deliver a lot of air. You can hardly go wrong with it IMHO. The $200 price is pretty good, too.
