My 1st thought is averted vision....

As far as I know the method Linton described is the only way.....a definate drawback to the forum software IMO.....

I am going to say just make whatever changes you need to make.....I dont think it will affect anything but if it does then I am sure that can be handled quickly....

Read about a few horror stories with lost shipments, payment processing etc and avoided dealing outside the CONUS for some time as a result.....but I have now had 3 overseas transactions, 2 purchases and 1 sale and all went without a hitch.....

I bought a rare vixen 60mm guidescope and guide mount assembly from Austrailia and it got here just as fast as from California actually (I am in GA.) 2nd purchase was a rare bird of an EP from England which also went smoothly.

Then I sold a 150mm Orion MAK to a guy in Japan which also went smoothly.....a little extra paperwork when shipping was the only thing different and it was easy.

I am still very cautious about who and how I will deal with buyers or sellers outside the CONUS but I am a lot less worried about it than I used to be

Intrestingly enough the bad stories I did hear about just about all involved Canada and money issues.....like them not allowing the funds on a USPS international money order sent from the US to be accessed for over 30 days after it was deposited.....I stick with paypal....if paypal is not an option I just pass on it whether I am buying or selling....

Hello.

Looking at adds on Astromart and see that many will not "sell" outside the CONUSA.I am north of the boarder and am wondering if there is an issue that I/we are not aware of!!

Sincerely


Andre

Recently I had my annual eye examination. I had the pupil dilation test (all ok) but thought I look in to the drug used to artificially dilate the pupils.

The prescribed medicine is brand name is called AK-Dilate.

Here's a link to the details of the medicine, etc.: http://www.drugs.com/cons/ak-dilate-ophthalmic.html

My Doctor said the dilation last anywhere from 4 to 8 hours with one dosage

It occurs to me that with proper administration, etc., you could use this medication to speed up and prolong the dilation of your pupils when observing DSO's; then again any abuse may cause serious problems.

People with night vision problems are often prescrbied this drug, as well as other similar products; as such, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this medicine and what was the long term effect.

Congrats Jeff.....Those are mo better good doin it mounts

I understand your frustration....completely

BUT....the only person you can control is yourself and as evidenced by your rather long post not always yourself either

Thats a good question....and yet another reason not to delete ads

But I am sure Herb can tell you......

How can I find out how many ads I've placed in the last 6 months if I have deleted a few and can no longer count them since they don't show up in my list of classifieds?

TOS limits the number placed in a 6 month period.

I find it hard to believe you are even trying to believe it

Would you please be so kind as to supply a reputable source for such a comment. I find it hard to believe such a statement. My concern is not politically motivated, rather based on the obvious implication of scientific misunderstanding.
