Maybe it is just used by a very short person? Ok, so it's not exactly catadioptric, either.

A 4" newtonian reflector- "Amazing summer fun for the whole family!". Maybe in the same ad the poster might not readily admit "We do not use this".
How much fun can one family endure? A steal at only $250!

It would be a whole lot more fun where it to point up a bit more into the sky.

This "Closetron" will be sure to show any dark secrets you keep in far reaches of your closet. Heck, with that superb 114mm or 5" mirror

you may be able to find that sock you lost last week...or maybe even a few skeletons!

I hope a mod directs him to the classic forum and deletes the classified until this newbie learns a little more about it. Although I think if this happens he'll probably just take it to ebay.

The seller wrote: "Paid approx. $2000.00 new a few years ago"

Possible interpretations:

a. Shipping costs were astronomical

;
b. I was taken to the cleaners

;
c. It's "approx." in the sense of complete fabrication

.
