You'd have to be a " brick short of a load " to try and sell your scope with this story .... but .... someone wants it.
Unbelievable. . . .!!!!

 You have to be kidding, hang on, BRB, still laughing. This guy is brilliant, I love it, and seriously the only astronomer that hasnt swung his/her scope to matters terestrial must surely only own a large dob. I would hire this guy in a heartbeat as a salesman, honesty, detail, credability, creative, I'll stop before I say integrity though. I cant believe he didnt say it has been used to view a moon or two.
Thanks for bringing this one to my attention, brightened my day.
Oh, I think he is asking too much though.
Cheers, Dennis.

Hi
I would most certainly expect that there are more people buying telescopes to spy on neighbours etc., than for astronomical reasons.
He just wants to reach a large market with a cheap telescope that would not be much good for astronomy in any case.

The scope has had some hyperenergetic photons through its lensworks by the description - hence it can't stand up on its three legs - textbook case of lenticular exhaustion with eyepiece steaming complications. At least he didn't barlow it .....

Yea pretty sad really, the poor person buying it probably is not well educated in scopes and really believes the ranting of this idiot.
I feel sorry for the buyer actually, who will be very disappointed.

Surely that depends on the neighbours? I believe I'd be disappointed perving at my neighbours even with an AP.
