Hey Mike,

Any chance of knowing why you are selling them?

regards

And since it is for such a good cause I'll lift it to $200.

iceman (Mike) · #7 23-06-2005, 02:44 PM

Hi Rob.

The owner just doesn't use them anymore and so has donated them for auction.

They're in as-new condition.

gbeal · #8 27-06-2005, 07:08 AM

$200 for a set plus eyepieces, that is less than half price. Come on folk, think where the money is going.

iceman (Mike) · #9 27-06-2005, 07:10 AM

Thanks Gary.

The binoviewers are $399 new, and the eyepieces are about $59 new (each).

You guys obviously haven't been to many auctions.

The price is set, now the wait is on for the last half an hour of the auction. Then you might see it hot up

I'll make it $240 for me. Nice little addition to my scope if I win.

Thanks very much Paul, and of course thanks to the donor who made this possible.
