Hey Mike,

Any chance of knowing why you are selling them?

regards

[gbeal]

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

Hi Rob.

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

They're in as-new condition.

[gbeal]

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

[iceman]

Thanks Gary.

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

:) You guys obviously haven't been to many auctions. :P 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 :cool:

[rumples riot]

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

Just a bump to keep it moving $250

[[1ponders]]

WooHoo :cool: :lol:And thanks kind sponsor:)

[gbeal]

Well done Paul, you will love them, especially for solar/lunar
A great idea Mike, and maybe one we could try again, but not every week.
A kind gesture by the "sponsor" as well.

[[1ponders]]

I'd also like to thank the purchasers of my previous for sale items here, who helped pay for these wonderful items. I couln't have done it without you. :D

[Starkler]

You'll have to do a review now Paul so that us mere cyclops viewers can know what we're missing out on :)

[[1ponders]]

You might have to ask Tony now Geoff seeing as he's offered me $499 for them :lol: But if Tony renegs, which he'd never do ,would you Tony, I will do a review.

[xstream]

Just do it before he takes them off your hands Paul. :D
