scope for viewing Pluto

Might send them another message about that, hopefully nobody will touch them with a barge pole after looking at their latest feedback.

Worst eBayer I've ever seen...also lying in the other item being sold which is that kite. They "payed" over 500 for it, yet they bought it from another eBayer a few months ago for £175...what a complete disgrace

Ask a question on the auction asking "did you pay the rest of the £500 via paypal gift or something? because it shows you only paid £175..."

All right, we've all had our bit of fun. Since the 'seller' has pulled out perhaps it's time to 'pull' this thread too?!

FWIW: this doesn't look to me like a hardened con-man. More like someone who really is under delusions. Anyone who's really out to rip off a load of customers would have gone to some trouble to make their listing plausible, and their English sound - at least - intelligible: even to the extent of finding a more literate accomplice to post up the descriptions and answer E-mails.

But I may be wrong. Ebay is a monster and you get all sorts...

Incidentally one negative doesn't prove anything. People bear grudges... Please understand me, I'm not trying to defend this 'daisy' person...

Guess you are right, we got the result that hopefully saved some future astronomer the heartbreak of being ripped off.

Oh! I live 15mins from Newbury, I've already assembled an angry mob, pitchforks, torches etc at the ready!

Leave the house, just burn the kite.

Good result guys, three weeks ago I was completely clueless regarding telescopes, and was scouring e-bay.

Thank heavens I found this forum, before I found that scope.

[Cornelius Varley]

Are you telling me that I have missed an absolute bargain ? A telescope that can see Pluto for £200 ?.

[Parus major]

I just noised him out of listing the kite buy pointing out the didn't pay £500 for it and that there's negative feedback for him selling it to a guy and keeping the cash.
