Hey folks,
I am trying to return to my first childhood hobby. Astronomy. At one time I was in the top user list here on astromart. I lost my vision for awhile(damm MS) but I still have some. I have been gone for several years, at least inactive.

I just renewed today(purple), I want to see how it goes before I commit to full year member ships. I do have a question. It says I have 40 ads left. I suspect this means that with the current system, I can only place "x" many ads depending on my membership level. Is this correct? Secondly, do "wanted" ads count in that 40?

I am going to be looking for many ATM items. My twin boys and I are about to build several 6" f/5 newts.

Anyway, hello and I hope to be around for awhile.

Welcome back, Mark!
Good luck with the scope project. And the MS!
Your wanted ads will count towards your 40.
Best wishes,
Linton (damn ALS;^)

Hi Mark

That $15 you paid is for 1 years membership and includes 1 month of supporter access (no delays on ads) along with upto 40 ads for use anytime during the next year, selling or buying as thanks for signing up.

Additional support funds whether for 1,3,6,12 months gets you supporter level access, no delays on viewing new ads, additional ads for your use and also the ability to have new ads instantly emailed to you that lasts for whatever time you picked.

If you choose not to be a supporter after your 1st month then you will still have full access as a member, but with a 4 hr delay on seeing new ads in the listings and you cant have them emailed to you. Many folks don't support unless they are actively searching for something and don't want the delay.

Have a great holiday season!
Greg
