For what is worth, I went and had a look at the scope.
It is real and is the price nominated. He is also selling a lens kit with collimator and laser pointer for extra $.
The only reason I did not buy it there and then, is that the mirror has a few marks on it that I am uncertain about (there are two small black areas which are obvious what they are). The ones I was nervous about, are like a corrosion rather than a specific mark. I therefore made the decision I would rather buy one with a mirror in better condition.
It is a bargain for someone less demanding than myself and he still has the original packaging and manual.
He told me that the unit was only 2 and a half years old. I do not believe this.
Thanks for checking it out Scott and reporting back. I had today off and was tempted a couple of times to give them a call, but my wife WOULD kill me if I came home with another scope...
