Just to clarify, it was not a retailer that told you, but it was the previous owner who was told, and he was telling you? Sounds like a serious case of Chinese whispers!!
Some retailer I wouldn't trust to give any advice (Aust Geographic stores for one!) but most specialist astro retailer in Oz give good advice.
