Celestron CPC 1100 StarBright XLT GPS Schmidt-Cassegrain 2800mm Telescope | eBay

looks too good to be true. i think he has made an ebay account just to sell this it looks to me its located in england and had put in on for 1day for a quick sale he might not get what he wants for it though some one may be lucky

[sologuitarist61]

Certainly worth watching, if it doesn't go for ridiculous money I wouldn't half mind that piece of gear Thanks for the tip off.

[RogerTheDodger]

I've seen a pic of that guy recently... can't remember where though. :/

[sologuitarist61]

Wasn't an avatar on SGL was it?

[RogerTheDodger]

No, was a pic of him with a scope I think.

Seen him on ebay before, not sure if it was the same scope though

[angusb1]

I wouldn't if I were you. Its really cheap, its outside the UK, and the seller has no feedback. It might be completely kosher but the odds are against it.

strange photo's looks like a british garden [american gardens tend to be big and where he supposedly is look's like these pictures Sapulpa, OK, United States - Google Search [not many white washed rough cast houses here and tongue and groove fencing with the shed next door doesn't look right at all [plus £10 p and p from america ] i smell a scam .[

Very kind of him to put his picture on if it is iffy

Especially the £10 postage, do you think he left a '0' off.

I agree about the garden though, very British, especially the whirlygig clothes dryer

[Bigeye]

kiss goodbye to your money if you win that in my opinion....nothing about that rings true

[dtr42]

is indeed a strange one [let's call in the FBI — Homepage ]

[sologuitarist61]

It is a pity that EBay doesn't have a 'REPORT' function like SGL, so that you could alert them if one has worries about the item.

[nightfisher]

when i spotted this i thought how "english" the garden looked

[Zakalwe]

Ive seen those photos on this forum before...I'm sure they were in te "Look at the size of that thing" thread. I remember the guy's tatts.

[Zakalwe]

Ive reported it, and also sent a message to the lister to advise him of the same.

Remember the old adage "If something is too good to be true, then it probably is".

[dtr42]

who needs the FBI when we have Zakalwe on the case [he's better than inspector gadget:)]

[nightfisher]

Gadget has replied and is on the case, at least no one will get ripped of with this

[Gadget]

Hi guys

I can assure you the scope is safe and sound in my garage just some scammer using my pics from my very British garden will report it as some one is likely to get ripped off

[Daniel-K]

cheeky

[sologuitarist61]

I have reported it also, the more the merrier in this particular case, what a con!!

Well spotted Zakalwe

I reported a listing where someone has ripped of one of my images 4 days ago, eFail have yet to remove the listing, so im pondering about sending a solicitors letter to get them to do the job they are supposed to do....
