I have a problem with a commercial sponser. They did not respond to my repeated requests for price and photo. I have no way of rating this sponser. This is in response to an ad placed on astromart classifieds.

What should I do?

with kind regards,

Lawrence Fry

Can I rate them here, or would that be un-astromarty?

The sponsor you are discussing has a phone # and fax # on his website in his classified ad. Did you try calling him after no response to your emails?

Maybe the mount had already been sold.

I have finally gotten a response from the vendor by email. They did in fact get my email. The problem was that this was an advertisement which included the phrase "or best offer", and included an offer to send a photograph by email.

According to the vendor, they never sent out a photo, nor did they legitemately consider "best offer's". They sold the advertised product within five minutes of placing the ad, so the vendor had no intention of accepting best offers. I would have paid more than the asking price if given the chance.

Fairness is often in the eye of the beholder.
