ZOMG look what I just bought for £120

[studio1one]

Now I know buyer beware and the dodginess of eBay etc but at a Buy It Now of £120 I could strip it for parts if it is in bad nick. Anyway it is cash on collection so if it's not up to the standard claimed I will walk

*sound of jaw hitting floor ......*

Nice one

[studio1one]

I'm in shock.

[brantuk]

That looks like an incredible bargain on the face of it - well done

[studio1one]

I will update once collected as to the condition etc. So pleased, almost makes me glad my 200p was destroyed!!!!

Must keep excitement in check in case it's a total duffer.

Lets just hope 10 inch is the mirror size and not its overall height

WOW I know the old adage of if it sounds to good to be true it usually is but best of luck to ya. Like you say even if it's no good the thing could be stripped for parts or you can walk away.

And there you go, if ever there was a cautionary tale about ebay.

The scope was a 200p and listing it as a 250P was a 'typo'

pah.

Sorry to hear it didn't work out. Still not the worst price in the world for an 8" dob. What was the condition of it ?

Still a bargain, just not as good a one 200P go for £200 or so S/H

[studio1one]

Indeed it is but the fact is I don't want a 200p

Well as it wasn't bought from here, and you'd only ever list it back on eBay ....

*cough*profit*cough*

I know what you are saying but it was around 100 miles away. By the time you stick the petrol on and all the hassle it doesn't seem worth it.

She relisted it as a 200p for £100 and it seems to have gone already.

Bargains do come up now and again. I've just purchased an orion europa 10" with hilux mirrors for less than the dob cost!!

[studio1one]
