I have tried several times lately to check out Hands on Optics inventory, and all that comes up is Gary and Sheri thanking their buyers for the 20 wonderful years. Have they shut down, or is my computer just having fun with me.

Last year at NEAF near the end of the day on Sunday Gary sold off everything he had left there to another dealer. I know because I bought something from him 10 minutes before he did it.

At last Sept's Black Forest Star Party he had the very last of everything and was selling it at 'fire sale' prices - with some very good deals.

It was a great run, but Hand's On Optics is history. I hope to see him at the star parties..... and I'd bet he'll be at the Stellafane swap meet with a table of 'something'!
