Hi Brian,
Yeah, I thought it was kind of funny because I had sent him about 6 emails or so, and then he got back with me on Sunday night 2 weeks ago. He said he had property in Oklahoma, and I asked him if $300 was enough. He said yep, you were the first to answer the ad, so I'll give you first crack. I thought that was kind of decent. I told him that I'd go get him a money order, and then he said great, call me in the morning and I'll get my address to you. I called him and he didn't answer, so I emailed him and told him that I had the money order ready to send, but he emailed me back and said he had to go back to OK, so he'd send me his address when he returned. I called him a few more times, but he never returned my calls or emails after that. I thought something was up.

As soon as I saw your posting, I started laughing 'cause when I started reading and saw "Topeka" I knew that had to be the one. He said there were a bunch of eyepieces with it as well. Looks to be pretty nice in the photos. Anyway, thanks for the info. and congratulations on a productive week. I need to put up a scope for sale on this end, and I'll keep looking for the deals. I think just finding these old scopes is half the fun

. Have a great night. Rich
