Possibly one of the best and most sought after refractor scopes in the world - would you sell it on e.bay with hardly any description ?

Somthing does not seem right here

P&P is £5, yeah right.

Something smells fishy.

Yes I thought that as well John - looks more like a 4" or 5" scope

If you look at the size of the hand and compare the thumb length to the width of the dew shield or tube dia. my 130mm APO is much bigger than the image - recon its only 4".

It weighs about 12 to 13 kg - cheap postage

John

[jcm]

Right - there are 4 clips down the side of the normal AP box for the 160mm EDF

this box has only 3 - smaller box?

anybody must be nuts to bid on this without seeing it for real, £5 postage is a laugh, and why start at £1000 for a scope like this with no reserve?

it would go in a flash on astromart anyway. a consigment sale??? i'll eat my mewlon if its legit!!!
