So, I responded:

Reggie.

Thanks man. WAY COOL!

Is DHL some form of rail postage company, as I specifically asked it to come rail. If it cannot come rail postage to me in Australia, I am not interested, and will seek an alternative offer from a guy in Poland.

Could you also specifically let me know the specific details of the filters. Specifically:
1. the filter - whole kernel, large grind kernel or pulverised freeze dried specific?
2. are they flux capacitors modulated or aeon flux?
3. Evangelion or Prometheus class?
4. are they parfocal or paracorr?
5. are the threads left handed Whitworth, or right handed Sidchrome?
6. do they interfere with the Bayer Matrix or the Mortein / Johnson matrix?

Can you show me an image that you took with these in place, and what exposure (full frontal or silhouette), camera (didactic or insilico chromatographic) and cooling (peltier or liquid helium).

When these are answered, I will make my decision and send you the funds directly to your nominated bank account. If it is a bank in Spain, I can only route it via Israel, then Novosibirsk, then Eskilstuna, Lisbon and finally to your account - I have to do this to avoid fees, as I money launder.

Thanks again senor!

Luis

This should be good.....can't wait for his answer....

are the threads left handed Whitworth, or right handed Sidchrome?
should have added in ( BSF ) British Standard Fine just to make it more confusing.

Keep us posted

Time to fake an address

Hi Luis,

Thanks for Your mail.. I will use the rail postage it to you in Australia OK From the start, the Astronomik OIII filter has been very specifically designed for the visual observation of gaseous and planetary nebulae. The extremely narrow pass band of the two OIII lines brings a substantial contrast gain to these lines even under best observation conditions. On faint super nova remnants and faint planetary nebulae the Astronomik OIII filter will often make the difference as to whether the object can bee seen or not! The optimal aperture ratio for the use of the filter is 1:3 to 1:15 with apertures of more than 6" (150mm). Transmission losses and chromatic distortions, which arise with other filters, occur with Astronomik OIII filters only when extremely bright aperture ratios of 1:3 and more come into play. The Astronomik OIII filters thus can expand the view of dispersed objects, generally speaking, to the whole visual field of view of the eyepiece and are not limited to only the center of the eyepiece..

Technical Data
(1)Transmission of nearly 100% of both OIII lines
(2)Complete blocking of all disturbing wavelength coverages
(3)The ideal filter for telescopes 10 " (25cm) and larger
(4)Main operational use: Planetary nebulas & super nova remnants
(5)No moisture-sensitivity, no aging, and totally scratch-proof
(6)Excellent carrier material - substrate is optically polished. The optical performance (resolution & contrast) of your telescope is not reduced in any way by the filter.
Parfocal with other Astronomik filters and Glass thickness: 1mm
Completely resistant against high humidity, scratches and aging effects
Diffraction limited, the filter will not reduce the optical performance of your telescope!
Astronomik filters are delivered in a high-quality, long lasting, filter box

As soon as confirm Your delivery address and phone Number... I will email you my Bank details for the transfer. Thanks hope to hear from you soon

Best regards

Reegie

"Dear Reggie,

With this model it may be possible to mount it in such a way that the aperture is controlled by the fundamental sphincter. After connecting the power it should then be possible to blow smoke rings. Can you achieve this? Please send photos."

This data is a direct lift from the oIII visual data on the Astronomik page.
You should ask him if it's from the first batch of these filters similar to the ccd filters which had a problem with abnormal halos around stars quoting the following link http://www.astronomik.com/en/news/as..._halo_problem/
This should rattle his cage for a while and prolong things by asking for an image taken through the filter and giving the photo details.mWhen the image arrives use Google to track the image and then ask if it's the same one posted at whatever page comes up.

Tell him that his bank rejected the money transfer. That should be good for another few days of messages!

Hi LewisM,

Just an idea that I often used. Tell him the bank has phoned you returning the money. Also the bank suspects a scam.

Watch him duck and weave. You, of-course believe it to be legit. The banks are too suspicious.

That will add several days on. Perhaps another bank account to report to A.

Cheers
