2 Cents

[Hodur]

Looking through the scope listings, they’re the juiciest I’ve ever seen. Granted I’ve not seen every listing, however I’ve been looking for some years.
Gentlemen, we should be keeping our “tinder dry” Taiwan, China, Europe and the States all have “issues” of lesser or greater magnitude.
If you’ve got good gear this is the time too hold, not sell. On the other hand, if your acquiring now is the time too buy.
This messy world tells us, quality is going to become more expensive, not less expensive as shortages of materials and labour impact enthusiast level Astro gear.
Just my 2 cents worth.

I disagree:D...strongly.

Things have never ever been so good and they will only get better.

However I think a saying for two of lifes must do things could apply to lurpurchase of astro photographygear in particular and astronomy gear in general...

There is never a good time to have a baby or start a business...think about that..long and hard.

There is only one way to see the world and opportunity..there is never a better time than now particularly if you get killed in a years time...

There is so much negative talk around the place it makes me sick mostly because it usually is coming from click for profit web sites who make their money from generating fear ..conspiracies in other words..like three months ago China was going bankrupt in 28 days..however nothing.. the housing market will crash next month...mmm no?..with.all of this stuff before you buy it ask for evidence in support for the article as it may just come from one of many journalists who must employ sensationalism f anything and everything to sell their copy...think it thru..

The key is to demand evidence...if what you read has none don't even bother reading to the end as it can only be fiction..

.so specifically exactly what is wrong with The world.. just one thing please with credible support for the claim and exactly how it will make things worse...just one..then the next one...or we could look at the world two centuries ago and ask what it would be like to live then...

That is the truth and it is free.
