Portable scope for BOTH Terrestrial and Celestial viewing and simple photography

Posted By Kenneth Pauling
Almost any of the 8 inch Reflectors such as found in the classifieds under Catadioptric are what I am looking for. By the time I buy a new 5 inch reflector with a tripod, I will have spent as much or more money as buying a used 8 inch "Catadioptric"!

Old astromart ratings

Posted By Kenneth Pauling
Same thing happened to me! I lost all my positive ratings. To make matters worse, I had a lifetime membership prior to the new system and suddenly I now have to pay each year!

Not Confirmed???

Posted By Kenneth Pauling
I have a problem maybe you can help me! I bought a Spotting scope from a person on Astromart and for some reason I don't have any unused ratings on my account! I bought the scope over a week ago and don't know who to talk to. I have received the scope and its excellent and just as advertised and would like to give the seller a great rating! Any ideas?

How to give a member a rating if they don't show in your "unused" ratings???

Posted By Kenneth Pauling
I have the same issue! Bought scope last week, no unused ratings on my account! Hard to figure out what to do! This process needs to be made easier!

Not possible to give ratings anymore!

I bought a scope on Astromart almost 2 weeks ago and I still don't have any unused rating available to give the seller a rating! I have tried to contact an administrator but have not got a reply! What do I do? Thanks!

Bought a Spotting scope 3 weeks ago on this forum but for some unknown reason I have no unused ratings to use to rate the seller! Very good experience but I can't give a rating! HELP!

What is a Lifetime membership?

Posted By Kenneth Pauling
Back in 2014 I was a LIFETIME MEMBER! I had signed up and I was told I had a LIFETIME membership and would never have to pay anything to be on Astromart! I could use ALL its great forum benefits! Before I knew it, the LIFETIME membership was over! I was confused! My benefits ended but I think I am still alive! Beware of LIFETIME benefits! On this forum they end before you are dead! Now even with paying each year, I am not allowed give a good rating for a seller that sold me a great spotting scope! I don't receive a unused ratings when I buy something on this site! WHY? Multiple time I have asked these questions but not have received any answer! Am I dead?

What is a Lifetime membership?

I am still not aware of why my lifetime membership ended in 2014 and why I can't give a rating for someone I just bought a scope from! Please explain! Thanks!

What is a Lifetime membership?

Posted By Kenneth Pauling
I have been on Astromart for many years.(years before I was declared dead in 2014) Great site, great forums, lots to read, buy and sell. I wish someone would tell me why I still can't seem to give someone I bought a scope from a good rating. What am I doing wrong? Is anybody able to inform me?

What is a Lifetime membership?

Posted By Kenneth Pauling
I finally realize why I can't post a rating on Astromart. First of all, (other than a reminder from a friendly Administrator that I have recently become aware of my donations to Astromart each year since 2014) Dead people can't post ratings! Dead or alive, it is allowed to donated each year, but no ratings allowed for dead people. Since Astromart stopped my Lifetime membership and declared me dead in 2014, I cannot post ratings!( except one time a few months ago?) I find it strange that Astromart lists me joined in 2014 the same year they declared me dead! I had been a live and contributing member for years before 2014! Amazing! Another mystery of the cosmos right here on astromart!
