Good one Allan!

What I want to know is, where do all the battered and much-loved telescopes, cameras and accessories go to die? Obviously not IIS, nearly everything is in absolutely pristine, barely-used condition, still with original boxes!
Another annoying one which appears occasionally:
"...
bought off another IIS member 3 years ago, immaculate condition, you'd pay $1200 dollars for this new, just $995..."
= 3rd hand at least by the time you get it, of doubtful provenance & age!
Ah well,
caveat emptor ....
Cheers -
