Quick Sales

I notice the follow sale (Takahashi 6x30 Finderscope and Bracket) happened 3 minutes after posting yesterday. Is that a speed record for a Sale?

Tell us any other quick sale experiences that U have noticed.

Certainly seen a few quick ones on Astromart. Masuyama eyepieces (real ones not pseudo ones) come to mind, anything from AP...

And yes here on IIS ... I recall a finderscope going in minutes before too, possibly a Skywatcher one.

Ditto a 7” mak

I was lucky enough to logon only minutes after the last TRex to be advertised for sale here on IceInSpace was posted about three years ago. I recall it took me about five minutes to convince myself I could afford it and then send a PM. The vendor later told me that I scraped in by a minute and he had 15 interested buyers within the following couple of hours. I was very lucky.

I notice two members have recently posted "wanted to buy a TRex" ads. Good luck to them; I certainly won't be selling mine.
