The Zebedee List is a comprehensive list of secondhand balloons and other items for sale for balloonists. It is published monthly and can be obtained either in paper format or here on its web site.

This is probably the List that many of you have been wanting to see!

New complete balloons in the sub 200 hour department (some of them much less) include a Cameron 77, Cameron 80, Lindstrand 90 and Ultramagic 105. Zebedee also has a very clean LBL single, double liquid pilot light burner for sale. Quite a number of smaller items also appear this time plus a nice sounding job in Italy...

Meanwhile seven envelopes - some with bottom ends - have left the List. Four sold and three withdrawn from sale. Andy Davey tells us that his “Russian collection” has either been sold (two of the envelopes now grace the UK register!) or dumped...

Our little reminder e-mail has had good results too, with a number of long sold items at last being notified and a good number of price reductions too! Keep those updates coming...

The British Balloon Museum and Library is organising its 9th Inflation Day - this time going north to Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria on Saturday 10th May. Subject to weather, a number of oldies will appear including the two ex Russian envelopes above. For more details and an entry form see www.britishballoonmuseum.org.uk.

Several readers have reported what appears to be a scam this month with dubious e-mails promising the purchase of items in the List. For more information about scams and how to recognise them, see below.

Due to the Zebedee staff annual visit to the South African Balloon Championships, the May List will be a bit later than usual reaching your doormats and computers but we will do our best to get publish as soon as possible after our return.

Another Round of Scams!

You have been warned...

An increasing number of our advertisers are again being targeted by the "Classified Ad Scam". One individual from overseas - 'she' apparently lives in several countries (!) - has contacted a number of our advertisers with offers to purchase equipment unseen. The fraud is revealed when it becomes apparent that they will send a cheque for more than the agreed price with the instruction to refund the excess by Western Union.

Our advice is to treat with suspicion any interest from a buyer who doesn't even want to look at the item for sale...

Read here for more details and advice.
