Yesterday afternoon a bargain was pointed out to me by Terry (Spudrick) because he knew I was after a good mount.
I knew it was financially out of reach for me even though it was a bargain. I tried to think of every possible way to buy this item, but came up blank. By about 11:30pm last night I decided to offer to pay it off. I umm'ed and ahhh'ed about ringing him coz it was late. Today I still umm'ed and ahhh'ed not sure whether to ring him with the 'Lay-By' idea. I waited until lunchtime then decided to try.
On ringing him he told me that he placed his ad back on the 5th of this month and today is the first calls he has had! Me and a bloke who rang only half an hour before me!!!!!
He said if the other guy doesn't buy it I could pay him off. :cool:
He rang me this afternoon to inform me that the other guy bought it :sad:
So you understand why I say it was a bargain, here is the wording from the ad:
SAXON TELESCOPE 6INCH
refractor, F1200x150, German HEQ5 equatorial mount, built in dual axis motor drives with hand controller and tracking, battery case, 2inch plus 1.25 eyepiece holder, all accessories, ECond, $750, Geelong
STATE: VIC FIRST PUBLISHED: 5 Oct 2006
:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:
If you see a 'true' Bargain, do yourself a favour and jump on it quick.
