Ad # 261100

Although he doesn't mention the actual telescope... he lists a slew of accessories (finder bracket as accessory?).

Hmmm, putting together the prices of those accessories, we come close to the $1000 mark... (the question is, is the scope included in the sale? if not, then why picture it?)

Not sure if it was a scam or April Fools joke, but it seems all 5 ads from the person are gone along with the account (can't find the name anywhere).

Yeah, tried to contact the seller and ask a few questions, but the ad was gone before I got a chance smile

Herb does a good job monitoring the thousands of postings and ads a day.
