IceTrade - bargains and delights

[erick (Eric)]

I remain impressed with the bargains and great opportunities that keep coming up in IceTrade. I've just looked at some of the latest listings and am thinking - Wow! I wish I had the money and a small warehouse!

So much astronomical equipment performs just as well after some use. And so much that comes up has been well cared for (if not improved on the original). And I have to be honest, not all gear needs new warranty protection?

I've been a second-hand buyer since I started back in 2007.

(Sorry, now I have all the retailers off side. Apologies.)

Edit: Well, not 100% second-hand - A few retailers have relieved me of some dollars. Been happy with those purchases.

And it sells quickly too. Seems like a healthy second hand market all round.

Oh to have a spare 10K or two lying around

To true paul theres some fine bits of equipment in buy and sell
at the moment you could sell a kidney or two and still come up short
on the money

Don't be shy of asking in the wanteds, I think my 14 xw , 22t4 and probably a few other buys came my way without an add being placed
by the seller.

Oh no there is no way I'm putting a wish list together and placing it in the Wanted section. That would be toooooo dangerous.

That's why they call it the Lotto...I've only ever won a Div 3 prize on Saturday, which is OK, but that Div 1 would be very welcome

Yes very frustrating.
It only takes a few seconds to do the edit.
