I think you'll find lots of people have bought gear of Matthew. Me for 1.

[seeker372011]

me too
I bought my PST from him as well as a TouCam and other bits and pieces.

good service and no problems(other than navigating through his website which took me a long time to figure out) :)

Can you write a "how to" on that? :P

Matthew is good to deal with, although some patience is required when contacting him.

I still havn't :lol:.. but aside that matt is great to deal with ... I believe he is a one man show so a little patiance with replys is needed.. beat the competion on frieght and price which isn't a bad thing to .

If you can find what you are after on his website you deserve an award.

No , but if he is pure mailorder - he's worth a try if his prices are better than the fulltime specialist shop based resellers in the big smoke.

It's not easy working during the day in a fulltime job and then coming home and running a mailorder business as a one-man-band , kudos to him for pickingup up where Stargate left off (retired business in 1998 when exchange rates went down the tubes). :thumbsup:

I visit his site from time to time.

Someone should point out to him that is spealt wrong.[/COLOR]

[Solanum]

Another me to. He is very helpful, though I think the site is a test that you have to pass before he'll deal with you!

um..I thought spealt was spelled spelled
:D

ive bought my G11, a scope through him, plus a home done modded webcam way back, as others said as he is a single person buisiness he has a lot to organise and might not be as punctual to reply.....but i would buy from him again.

mind you his website is as others say not easy to navigate (understatement). Really could do with a good workover.

My dealings with Matt have always been good, no problems contacting him when i need to. I note you are in Sydney, I have found that Bintel will do there best to match the price and you can save a bit if you pickup. You could also go with Andrews. Depends what you want to buy. I have delt with all three and have had good experiences with all of them. Depending on the size of your item and its value it may be worth while to see if the locals will price match and then make a decision.

Bought a small item from him - an autocollimator - everything went very well.

Re his website - active use of search option helps!
