moriniboy Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 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.http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/high-powered-telescope-best-in-its-class/1004628316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think he's already up a Gumtree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkis Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 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 notin our nameThanks.Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I wonder how much they want for the keytar in the background.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allcart Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 So anyone hazard a guess as to what scope it is? It doesn't look like 10" at the big end to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo636 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 £200 for a "10" at the big end" sounds reasonable to me :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo636 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I reckon its an Evo 102, maybe 120 on a EQ3 but hard to tell for sure from pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshane Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 It's the Best keytar ever Used! 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtr42 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wookie1965 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E621Keith Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 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.
