Hello
Yes handover was at a busy railway station. He had paid me via PayPal in advance. The scope was covered in bubble-wrap inside a Geoptik case. He did not ask to inspect it there and then. He complained about the focuser as soon as he got home. This was merely a minor bit of binding between the fine and coarse knob that I had not noticed and was easily rectified. Then came up with a complaint about the dew shield retaining knob.
Then either in the evening or maybe the next day started complaining about some small spots inside the lens (not detectable to the naked eye using a bright torch as I had done) which may or not be mold.
Since I did a 200 mile rail journey at my expense to hand it over I am not inclined to take it back. I think the asking and paid price of £2200 was very fair for the condition - I looked and saw essentially the same scope (APM rather than A&M) with same lens and focuser with ally tube rather than carbon fibre sold for £800 more
Thanks for the continuing advice guys
John
