Moved from eBay to Gumtree

[moriniboy]

This guy recently tried to sell this scope on eBay and is now attempting to sell the same kit on Gumtree.

His rants on the eBay page had to be seen to be believed, I believe that eBay removed the listing as a result of these rants.

I think he's already up a Gumtree.

Oooh, there's a phone number this time - I didn't see that when it was on e-bay...Might give him a call and see if he's as crazy over the phone as he is with the written word...

[JamesF]

Has he moved back from Greece, then?

That advert gave me a good giggle

Please do not involve SGL in any communications with Ebay sellers, either by Mail or by Telephone.

Anyone can communicate with a seller, and ask any question they please, but do so as an individual,

and not naming SGL in their correspondence.

Ebay are not very good at their own housekeeping, and we can't do it for them. At least not

in our name

Thanks.

I wonder how much they want for the keytar in the background....

[allcart]

So anyone hazard a guess as to what scope it is? It doesn't look like 10" at the big end to me.

[Damo636]

£200 for a "10" at the big end" sounds reasonable to me :-)

[Damo636]

I reckon its an Evo 102, maybe 120 on a EQ3 but hard to tell for sure from pic.

But that Keytar offers Unbelievable sound, the Music sounds Almost 3D!!!!!!! It's the Plastic leader in it's Field.

It comes with Big white Keys and smaller Black keys.

It's the Best keytar ever Used!

[Moonshane]

He is called Hugh. I wonder if he's related to the famous actress Samantha Janus?

assuming the focuser drawtube is 2" then the aperture must be 6" so it must be a 150mm f8?

[Spec-Chum]

Shane! Family forum!

lol

[Moonshane]

what?? LOL

[Spec-Chum]

I'm just glad she wasn't called Samantha Jands

edit: had second thoughts lol

[KenG]

Am I right in thinking this same add was on e-harbour a year or so ago with the same crazy guy making outrageous claims?

[AndyH]

There is reason for his madness.

He's from Wishy.

'Nuff said, really.

Do you think you can turn it up to 11? I've had second thoughts as if that scope is a 10" the keytar would put my back out.

[dtr42]

looks like a skywatcher 150 evo i have one and it looks about the right size [could be the 120 ] for £200 its a bit expensive .

[moriniboy]

No longer available on Gumtree, perhaps it has been sold!!!!!!!

[moriniboy]

Bless him for trying, now on Pre-loved

http://www.preloved....-its-class.html

[wookie1965]

This has now been reported to Preloved. I have said that the item is not as described and been previously tried to be sold on ebay and gumtree giving the same false information.

[E621Keith]

I wonder what he is trying to do. He is clearly lying by saying it's 10" in diameter and "look down small end onto a mirror", when the scope is clearly a 4-5" refractor.

That seller must be a pathological liar. There is clearly nothing to gain by making such obvious lie and any idiots would have learned of their mistake after being busted so many times.

Jupiters moons in 3D, classic.................

[dtr42]

i wonder if he means 10" in circumfurence rather than diameter plus it must be obvious that it aint selling think thats 2 months now
