Mate! Wait until you buy their DGM filter and turn it on the Carina Nebula - it is even better than the OIII filter! Promise! Trust John B on this. And David Knisely (Cloudy Nights). See

I bought just under $1,000 of filters from the Ebay store 12-18 months ago - a bulk order for about five IISers, including myself. I had plenty of message contact with them through the process. Apart from getting lost in transit for a few weeks (I suspect they were sitting in Customs while they waited to see if anything further arrived in my name pushing the total over the GST trigger), I was very happy, and, I believe, so were the other buyers. I don't recall any problem with packaging.
