12" Meade SCT - for under a grand !!!

[Bigwings]

Remember guys & Galls that Paypall does not give you a cash back guarantee outside of Ebay. Why dont they put it on Ebay?

[barkis]

I have sent an email asking for the final inspection details which is usually a label stuck on the underside of the tube. Let's see if I get a reply.

Someone will fall for it. It looks exceptional value considering there's 12" LX90 just below it for £1500, bound to draw someone in. And £999 is a lot of money to lose, especially this time of year. That will be a Christmas wrecked for someone.

Do you think we should alert Paul, the owner of UKB&S, to the advert before someone has a really bad day?

[ChrisEdu]

Indeed! The way my lick is running at the moment I can't afford to take that risk.

I'm trying to work out what sort of van that is in the photo - it doesn't look like anything I've seen in the UK.

Maybe a trailer, but again, I don't recognise it.

I think it's a trailer. Probably used for bringing in illegal immigrants!

Ah! Might explain why I couldn't see it on the UK ebay site. Time to call their bluff I feel!

[russ]

And yet they've put the location as London?

[ChrisEdu]

I've alerted ebay.

[russ]

They will ship to the US only? And buyer collection welcome! So what's the UKB&S advert all about then?

[ChrisEdu]

I've emailed the webmaster at astrobuysell.com about the advert and provided a link to the ebay site. Next, I think I'll email the vendor and ask if I can pick it up from America!

[ChrisEdu]

Have emailed them with the ebay link and asked what they are trying to pull!

[russ]

I'd emailed the webmaster on Buy'n'sell too, so hopefully Paul will take it down shortly.

I reckon someone has Hijacked this ad, and is trying it on over here.

lets make his crimbo we all pretend to buy it....... :clouds2: kev

[beamer3.6m]

I've just bought it - let you know when it arrives.

HAHA - only joking.

Got you worried for a moment though I bet.

[ChrisEdu]

Strange, they haven't responded to my email yet! They were quick enough previously!

[ChrisEdu]

Webmaster has sent receipt for email notification. Let's see what happens. Would they forward the details to the police if it was found to be fraudulent?

[ChrisEdu]

Result - it's now marked as being fraudulent on Astro Buy Sell.

[bazza]

I reckon that is a good team result!

Barry.

[ChrisEdu]

Indeed! This must be one of the fastest moving threads for a long time!

What a team! Just a shame it wasn't to be my lucky day. :crybaby:
