what i was going to say, whilst not wanting to be pressured, a common passion works wonders. When i come across in march, i am going to bintel to have a look. It will be a bit of a holy grail. lots of scopes, lots of eyepieces. I know i will want to look and look and look and talk and talk and talk. I may not buy then and there, but that whole experience will determine if i will part with lots of $$$.
I am not buying underwear, I am buying an object for a subject i am passionate about. That carries $$ (call it good will). If bintel are 10 to 20% dearer, then so be it, they deserve it and resultant business for creating the atmosphere!!!
