Tribal-Wolf Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well at least it's an auction with albeit a slightly expensive start price lol, and he still managed to leave the 'Optus' name on show. Some people never learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveGarland Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It might be worth leaving it clearly on show in an obsey to deter burglars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Condon Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi,As you say, he has relisted it, but more importantly it was described by ebay as "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available".He still does not describe the item............... in Ireland this would be known as "a pig in a poke".CheersAdrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabana Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Richard Branson, Alan Sugar, et al started the same way. Albeit with more craft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astronut1982 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I sent the seller another message asking why he cancelled the sale & relisted. He replied to tell me that he is reporting me to the police for harrassment & told me to grow up!He also said that he had paid £160 for it & that looking on google you can see many others the same price but I checked & saw Aldi at £59.99, supaprice.co.uk at £40 & cashconverters for £27. He is definitely not telling the truth & trying to make a quick buck out of someone elses naivety. I just hope that no one falls for it.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl M Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Is it the same as this one? Optus telescope with EQ-7 mount - Magnification 35x - 234x | eBay If so, it comes on an EQ-7 mount! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astronut1982 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm pretty sure it is the very one Carl.He is adamant that he is giving someone a great deal but when I asked for proof his exact words were 'I don't need to prove anything to anyone, especially the likes of you!' So it really looks like a case of someone trying to rip off someone who doesn't know any better.I just hope no one falls for it.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowasaki Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Oh and for harassment there need to be two separate incidents (hence being harassed) so sending one message isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
