the quick and the dead

I thought I would buy a couple of naglers

, and since the 31 went missing (sold) from this site I went to Astromart to go hunting. I thought I was about to bag 2, a 17 and a 31mm for less that $1000 AU when I had trouble with sending an email to the guy in question. Upon the second attempt it was sent, and 2 minutes later I received a reply that they had been sold. Now he had only just posted them himself and was taken back by the speed at which people replied!! That was quick!! Posted and sold within 10 minutes. But not to me

Astromart is like that . Any genuine bargains normally go quick.
Other times the seller will get a number of enquiries and will prefer to deal locally rather than mess with international shipping, so again us poor Aussies normally miss out unless its an item without many expressions of interest.

P.S. do you like my new avitar?

Mate is that a self portrait!!!

Yes a moment in time that captured the expression on my face when I first saw the price of a 31mm nagler

h0ughy (David) · #5 17-07-2005, 04:13 PM

the 31mm I missed out on was $485 US, and the 17 was 265 US
