I've got some telescope money burning a hole in my pocket. Was going to opt for a new LX200ACF 10" but have changed mid-stream and think I'm going to go with the 10" 600.

[Re: Cryhav0c]       #5200491 - 05/01/12 04:48 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I just talked with the people at telescopes.com and the sales person told me that if I purchased one today, I'd be the first in line to receive one when they released them. I guess that nobody's prepaying on their website. If mid June is the latest they're indicating, I think I'm going to go ahead and prepay. BTW, if you talk nice to the sales rep there they'll give you a discount. The one I spoke with offered me $50.00 off and another I spoke with last week offered me 3% store credit on my entire order. That adds up to an fairly nice eyepiece or some other goodies when you think about it.

[Re: Cryhav0c]       #5296956 - 06/30/12 09:03 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Just a note, telescopes.com quotes shipment times in about 3 weeks and then moves the date when stuff doesn't show up. I ordered a Baader diagonal from them which they had listed as available and would ship July 7th. A week later the date was July 14th. Then July 21st and so on. I finally canceled the order when I found out what they were doing and ordered it elsewhere. Post Extras:       Cryhav0c member Reged: 04/21/12 Re: When will Meade ship the new LX600's?

I don't have any idea how solid this is. Just thought I'd share this little glimmer. Cheers! Post Extras:       rmollise Postmaster Reged: 07/06/07 Re: When will Meade ship the new LX600's?
