Makes me laugh, what's he looking for, a sympathy sale...

If you are into A P, someone is in for a bargin

[andyman]

If that was all my gear it would be the wife that would be going 

[mikey32shaw]

[nmoushon]

Wow! Would have hated to be the neighbors that had to hear the fight that lead to this.

Going to offer the Wife 2K.....................   :grin:    

[Moonshane]

if he has become obsessed then it's understandable to some extent. you should always make sure you give your family enough time. then again if they love you, there's always compromise if you can stick to agreements.

My ex tried the same at one point, needless to say it didn't go well .

I wonder if there are any female astronomers out there who get grief from their husbands/boyfriends ?

Doubt it somehow.

Seen in an EBAY ad for a Nissan Skyline -- Reason for selling: I misunderstood what my wife meant by "Do what you like"

Yep - the decimal point needs shifting to the left but then some poor punter may believe it's good value

I'm one of em!  To be fair, he's perfectly happy for me to spend time star gazing, and has even come to one star party, but its the money I spend on the hobby he objects to!

Agreed, it is hardly good value..

I suppose on top of clothes, shoes and handbags........astro gear as well would be pushing it...:-)

Maybe the time has come for him to pay the balance on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday and he's had a change in financial circumstances since booking.

[paulk]

He needs a lesson in the use of capitals 

[earth titan]

Reminds me of the old joke, which can be rewritten for any hobby:

'my wife says if I don't sell all my telescopes, she'll leave me! ...... Dang I'm gonna miss her!'

The seller is an SGL member:

if he loves his mrs and kids that much then she should feel the same, so she should want him to keep his gear

Having been divorced and then widowed I am the last one to give advice

[Pliadian]

I just sent him an ebay a message about the product. As follows:

I would LOVE to make a nice cash offer.
But I am not going to be the one who takes this equipment you must LOVE.

Don't sell your soul bro, keep it x.

Sorry if any offense is caused. Just think this is too good to sell.

Regards,

Fellow Astronomer.
