Have you ever ordered something you already have?

Seem to have one more TV 25mm plossl then I thought. Not sure where it came from or how.

That's about it.

That's the thing with plossl's; like rabbits they just seem to multiply all over the place! Hehe!

It would be really bad if you opened your new eyepiece box then open your ep case to present it nicely and then"oh no I've already got a 21mm ethos".

Yikes! Talk about expensive too! Ouch! ???

I put it down to "Astrozymers" but apparently 'the Universe is not Big Enough', for a serious study.

(ps, my main 'doublons' are photo lenses, I buy them with a view to selling and then don't get around to it)

Along with the Alzheimer's and the mad cows diesese we're all gone croak with from all the beef we've been eating and stuff, then Astrozymers is not too bad then! Hehe!

I know what you mean about holding onto things; I put my binoviwers up for sale the other day, then a couple of hours later  withdrew them from sale as I know I'd regret selling them! ???

[Floater]

I have, indeed, bought something I already had - a telescope! But I guess that won't count 'cos I hadn't really forgotten that I already had one/others.

Funnily enough, Mrs Floater hadn't forgotten that either ... ?

Well, I guess we are all guilty of that then. I'm guilty on five charges of telescope hoarding then! Hehe!

I bought a 13mm T6 Nagler recently when I already have a 13mm Ethos - I just like the shape and size of the 13 T6 I guess

 

[LukeSkywatcher]

Yep. I now have 2 sets of coloured glass filters ..........neither of which i use. 

I also own 2 of every meteorite sold by FLO. 

[DirkSteele]

Sort of. I forgot I owned a 10mm Radian EP (a very good eyepiece) and went and purchased a 10mm Delos. However it was a great mistake to make as it is an awesome EP though it was an expensive mistake as off the back of the 10mm performance I bought the 4.5mm and 14mm.

Yes, I have a Baader Morpheus 14mm EP and  I want either the 4.5mm or 6.5mm version too, but I can't justify getting one really as I own EP's already of that size (actually 6mm rather than 6.5mm), so every time I look at getting one I have to be strong not to press that order button! ???

[Paul73]

Yes. I had a perfectly good scope. Then bought another and another.......

The curse of the 'safe place' has also resulted in several double purchases.

I have done it by design, I like to have all my scopes and cameras set up as "kits" so will order duplicates of items like extensions, T adapters and filters etc so that each bag or case has everything required to operate without having to swap things around.

Good lord, have you seen the price of 3nm Astrodons ?

Actually I already have two complete imaging rigs set up on my mount, but they're different fl.

I meant camera lens filters  but I do have duplicates of screwdrivers hex keys etc with each bit of kit that needs them too, I spent to much time working in aerospace companies with Lean, Seven Sigma...
