This topic came up some time ago. Look in the archives. The seller told the buyer what a POS the gear was. Why bondage wings were deadly. And still the buyer bought the gear. As long as the buyer knows what he is getting and still wants to buy it, go ahead. You have given the buyer some education in the process he/she is a Stroke. No excuses. If they don't get it from you they will get it from the next person.

Explain stroke to me one more time. Al, believe me I'm not looking for a soapbox I just find it hard to justify selling shit, whatever the reason. Yeah I know, they may just be rec divers or to coin a phrase "wannabies" even more stupid untrained and ignorant.
