Can of worms indeed...
As with all things...Buyer beware...
While there can be merit in a discussion thread there is also great danger in becoming a free for all. I urge caution in where this is heading...after all one peron's "pig in a poke" is another person's teasure.
As long as everyone sticks to facts we should be okay but the moment we begin to descend the slippery slope of subjectivity without proper caution we will find ourselves in chaos and maybe open to litigation...
There are incorrect statements of subjectivity that are made from lack of experience...When I first looked through my GSO plossls I was tickled pink and thought they were the best things since sliced bread...and compared to my previous experince with .965 eyepieces they were...now having moved up to higher end gear I would describe the GSO's differently...Had I sold my GSO's soon after I got them I would have "raved" about them...now I would talk in terms of value for money...
In this instance no ill will would have been meant through my maybe misleading statments...
However, it is rather easy to adopt the marketing "Hype" to sell some other gear even when I know better...that is different and wrong.
After all, we all want to get the best price that we can...didn't the movie Wall Street teach us all the "greed is good" and drives our society...
How can we ever determine from here if an over exuberent poster is acting maliciously or out of inexperience?
Wow, what a potential can of worms...but no different than some recent discussion on Astromart about a set of eyepieces...it is a curly one...
Again, buyer beware and everyone be nice!
