Damned eBay!

[LewisM]

Here I was looking for Takahashi decals for the car...

Someone stop me!!!

Please...

Now...

:(

[rmuhlack]

Look down at your sig - "Takahashi FC...." Now look back up, and take a deep breath! :lol:

If you've sourced the scope I think you have, then there is no where for you to go after that in terms of an upgrade. You will have attained strehl perfection, the scope of a lifetime, and (i can't believe im typing this...) the scope in that ad would be a disappointing backwards step.

stay strong brother!

[rrussell1962]

Er, are you not having a sale at the moment to consolidate your telescopes down to one scope? I did that too, before I bought the Obsession 18 inch dob and the Japan made Vixen ED80 on GP green mount with Skysensor 2000PC and...etc. I would buy it if I had any money left! nice, very nice.

*puts on my best deadpan willy wonka voice*
stop. don't.

[LewisM]

Indeed Richard, indeed. The wait is killin' me! Should be here Thursday :scared2:

Plan finding an engraver who can cut kanji on a brass plaque with
完
全
on it. (translated as Perfection)

[LewisM]

Yes :)



This will be the one, and penultimate scope. just sealing a deal on another.. L

[Octane]

That's less than what you offered me for mine. Do it! :P

[TrevorW]

Read fine print "May not ship to Australia"

[Screwdriverone]

No......stop...... Don't...... Do....... It.......

I wouldn't want you selling it to me in a weeks time for half the price..........

Or would I???? :-P

Of course, I would only buy it if you painted over that ghastly Takahashi colour scheme and replaced it with skywatcher speckly black :-D

[LewisM]

I have Pentax Pearl White if you prefer :P

[tlgerdes]

Don't!
Stop!
Don't!
Stop!
Don't!
Stop!

Don't Stop!

[hotspur]

LOL :D good one Chris, looks like there will be another telescope on the IIS classifieds soon,doing that regular 'telescope hoekie-pokie' thing we see all the time here:shrug:

Has someone put the pop corn machine on.

[multiweb]

Got one just like that under my desk :p

[LewisM]

Oh, ya got it now!

Anyway, the FCT-100 arrived in Sydney this morning - now let's see how long Aus Post takes to lase it, find it, lose it again, deliver it, undeliver it, and then card me for it, then don't...

I wasn't even remotely nervous ex-USA. It's the Sydney to here it that scares the living daylights out of me, knowing as I do Aus Posts complete ineptitude of late. (I had to run after the parcel delivery contractor today - she carded me under the door without even knocking, let alone touching the door bell - I was in the flaming back yard, garage OPEN, and saw all this!!!)

[LewisM]

PFFFT - you'll need big buckets this time.

(I hope)

If this ain't a good'un, that's it, I am going back to macrame.

[RB]

She knows you're going to sell it again so why bother dropping off the package.

:poke:

[LewisM]

Hmmm, now where is that Deathstar I was looking for...oops, lost it again :D

[RB]

:lol:
Touch'e

[RobF]

Actually you've missed the real bargain - was further down the page.
I wonder what the PE of this sucker is? ;)

You sound stoked Lewis and it certainly looks damn nice.

I'm glad you are so smitten with her, hopefully your last scope and a keeper......
