Length of forum membership or number of posts means very little...........a couple of years ago I purchased from someone who appeared to be a "valued" member of IIS only to find when I went to use the item it was missing two crucial screws that have made it useless. When queried about the problem, the response was....."sorry. I have no idea, I bought second hand like that", yet this was the original advert........"
For sale is a Pair of Williams Optics Binoviewers, complete in box with two eyepieces and the barlow lens as sold by WO.
Used only a few times - not really for me." ...............yeah right!
Then there's the instance of a "missing" EQ6 that caused considerable grief for another member here.
