Would you bid...

I have never seen this done before...

I wonder how long until the rest of the information is filled in!

Someone will , and before you know it there'll be a new thread on here from some clown moaning about spending £100 on a plastic toy scope .....

I wouldn't buy anything off there unless it was 5 miles away and I could thoroughly inspect it in person first . . .

Hi,

They are selling a telescope, so what is the problem?

Lets work down from the Hubble Space Telescope (offerred by FLO) to the Pringles Crisp scope on eBay

recently, it's got to be somewhere in between.

I suspect it's Hubble as they want you to collect in person......

Cheers

Adrian

PS. I have sent a message to the seller asking what make of scope is it.

From his ebay history this could be anything, probably or not !

[LeeB]

was it added during a free period for filling in later, strange.

[crashtestdummy]

Yawn-annother ebay bashing thread on its way

[SnakeyJ]

Ah - the famous pig in the poke. The odds probably compare with getting the euro lottery numbers right, but we'd all be pig sick if turned out to be a nice Japanese APO!

[S.A.M]

Maybe it is a fresh air telescope, these can be quite large!

[Jase_v2]

deffo listed to take advantage of the free listing weekend - my mrs does this all the time - lists a title and goes back to it when its free, but at least she gets round to filling the rest in! Too far for me though so I wont be bidding !

If its a Prinz Astral 400 its Japanese optics so I have read...could be bull for all I know!

[MorningMajor]

Don't see the problem myself, not everyone selling a telescope is an astronomer- what little detail there is - is probably all he knows - not asking for a fortune - simple, buyer beware

[rowan46]

it looks a fair buy, When i was a kid this was one of the scopes I lusted over. expensive enough but not totally unaffordable except to me they were also better built than the tasco's of the time

[Superdavo]

It may not have any bids on yet, but I bet it'll have a lot more at the end

[ibraidwo]

Aha - the details have now been completed. For those wondering what this was all about - when it was first listed, the title simply said 'telescope', with not much more in the description. It now has far more in both areas!

[Adrian Condon]

Hi Phil and Jake,

It is an Astral 400, shame it is not a Tak, I have received a very pleasant message from the seller... she

thanked me for reminding her to fill in the detail.

She is the first person to respond to a request for info, I have made numerous requests to previous sellers of scopes and eyepieces on eBay with no replies received.

Cheers

Adrian
