rich,
i saw that ad and sent him off a email offering more.
i left him my number and when he called me back i had to ask him witch telescope he was talking about because by that time
i had inquired about at least a half dozen others.
he did tell me he was somewhere else for a while.
anyway i knew better than to offer him 200.00 for a
telescope that was worth 4 times that much.
i made him a good offer for me and him sight unseen.
there are to many of us that are up on these ads
so i figured i did fair and still did good.
you have to remember that there are people that
are not even interested in sale but will email
seller to give there 2 cents.
Brian
