I had a message discussion with them about the ED100s and their specs - turn out they are the single speed focuser versions but legit ED100s with Flourite glass. I was going to upgrade the stock focuser anyway to a William Optics DDG, so it didn't matter to me. So I ended up buying a Blue ED100 for $749 using the "Make an Offer" system, pretty reasonable I think.
When I was sent a receipt from ebay, it said it was from Tasco which I think indicates a drop ship operation or a retail store for Tasco, which historically has been a wholesaler. If you look at the ebay tranactions number they have had only 260 so this indicates a fairly new operation I would think. Still the prices are good if you pick your item carefully and ask questions, in some cases it maybe superceded stock being disposed of, in other cases your getting real bargains on new stock - like that beaut Mak-Newt.
