What is this community coming to? People posting AP refractors for more than the retail price. I'm sure that no one thinks they are turning a profit. Just to understand. Profit=dealer? Selling at 75% of price=back yard astronomer? Because if you adjust the 1960 dollar to the 2003 dollar I have a feeling that Mark is selling the scope at 75% of the retail value. Making him a backyard astronomer. However, if the idea of him taking the chance to make a profit from the scope makes him a dealer then what do you call all the folks selling the AP's making a profit?

I'm confused....If I pick something up at a garage sale that I know is worth more than they are asking and sell it here for more than I paid, it's immoral??? Honestly I'm confused. Is it OK if I'm a supporter?
