Gee that is so good! haha

[Somnium]

this deserves a slow clap, we need an emoticon for that

[el_draco]

Hmmm.... Not so good for business. Wonder if he asked Andrews to refund before unloading on the business. May have been a dud that got through Q.C.??

Maybe it is "reverse psychology" marketing? http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReversePsychologyMarketing
Very funny though... :)

[speach]

Well I'm the one who bought it. I had to, to see how bad it was. I'll up date you to its faults when I get the chance to try it out.

[Julian]

LOL... Just another fast buck type operation, like all the others!!

[Suzy]

:rofl::rofl::rofl:I laughed so hard my face hurts.

From what I could see there were 5 bids on it :eyepop:.
Look forward to your report Simon :), if you don't like it at least you can use it as a door stopper as suggested :lol:.
Or as also suggested.... pack it with explosives and blow it up :rofl:

[hotspur]

This is very funny,still laughing, love the list of reasons to bis on it #10 and #14 are a real chuckle!

[speach]

or resell it:)

[OzStarGazer]

5 bidders and 16 bids. The 5 bidders have been fighting for it... :)

[Suzy]

I noticed :scared2:.

Simon, I can't wait to hear your thoughts. It may even be okay-ish enough to use if you have kids looking through the scope (I have a simple set for that reason).
But I'm doubtful you'll get much more than what you paid for it :question:.
I had a 2 inch 30mm 80deg ep (I think it was an old Bintel one ?) that I sold on here for only $30, and the price seemed fair at the time.

But, I don't think that e-bay seller was kidding, going by this review on the Cloudy Nights forum :shrug:.
He seems to be an extremely honest ebay seller- what else does he sell? :D:lol:

I have the Andrews 30mm 80deg 2" UWA mentioned here and it's okay, preferring to keep it and sell the other.

[OzStarGazer]

So it is really rubbish? LOL
But it's almost Christmas and maybe Simon can quickly get rid of it if he doesn't like it and at the same time have a Christmas present less on his list. :)

Simon, maybe you can open a PayPal dispute for "item not as described" if you like it and get your money back... ;)

[FlashDrive]

Now there's a thought Simon....:rofl:

Col...

[speach]

Here is an up date, only had a quick look through it but it's certainly not as bad as described. It's not a Pentax or Zeiss on the other hand it's not a toy eyepiece. May keep it, but very rarely use an eyepiece.

[JoeBlow]

What telescope are you using? I hear this eyepiece performs a lot better in slow telescopes.

[speach]

I'm using it on a f4

[Suzy]

Thanks for the update, Simon :)
I'm having a big chuckle over what Colin just said :rofl:

[JoeBlow]

With a coma corrector off course.

[AG Hybrid]

I laughed out load at number 10
