Band for sale on eBay!??

[youknowit 11]

Am I the only person who has seen this? I can't be the only person who thinks this is pretty crazy... Check out this auction on eBay for an ACTUAL BIOENTERICS LAP BAND! Holy cow...

If you read the description, they supposidly have to list it as "used" which is even more weird in my opinion... I didn't think you could sell this kind of stuff on eBay, but I guess now if I ever decide to "lose" my band, I can get some money back?! Whoa!

How the heck did you find that on Ebay? I just checked it out..too funny...whoever wins it, I hope they have a good qualified surgeon to put it in

Very interesting!

I seen it also there are people bidding on them why what are they going to put it on themselves???

I can hardly believe it.

Who would of ever thought.

A band friend lead me to it... I think it's crazy, personally. I remember a while back someone on here said that if they got desperate, they'd be breaking out a butcher knife and putting a twist-tie around their stomache themselves...well, here's your chance! Yikes!

On another note, what qualified surgeon would feel comfortable putting in a supposidly "new" but technically opened/used band? Yikes, again!

OMG! SHut up! I can't believe someone is selling that! I wonder where they got it. Doesn't the band it's self cost like $3000? thats crazy!!

Surely the people bidding on this are going to use it for teaching purposes?! I hope!! Just goes to show you, you can buy or sale anything on Ebay!

[youknowit 11]

ok, so i do think this is funny, but, does anyone else think this is wrong? or better yet, scary? i'm a little worried about the bidder and their intentions. it occured to me that perhaps this bidder (or the people buying things like this) might be buying them FOR a doctor to place, not just as a patient... what made me think this you might ask? well, when I was snooping around and seeing what else these bidders have/are bidding on, they bought other medical products as well, like an endoscopy machine, etc. this thought is truly scary to me... anyone else?

HOw CRAZZYYYYY? %$#@#$%% I certainly hope that a certified Doctor would never put it in. But than again- what if it is perfectly OK??? What if this person gets it for min. & saves virtually $3000.00? HMMMM - I don't know? What I do know is it wouldn't be me> LOL LOL LOL

Next thing you know, we'll have a band hacker, sitting up shop in his garage, LOL. OMG, that's scary!

[Oh 2 Be Free 0]

Now the SCARY thought is.. as money hungry as American Doctors have become, one could buy it for $65 and charge the insurance co... oh let me see... $50,000!

This is exactly what entered my mind. Some crazy nut job calling himself a Doctor & preying on a despert overweight person & leading them around the back of the house!!! OMG!
