BAZ Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I don't know if this would suit you, there are some cracking extra's for the price. http://stargazerslounge.com/classifieds/item/670-sw-250-px-and-extras/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrsR Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Anyone bought of 365 Astronomy? They have a 250PX Skyliner for £438 Baz looked at the ad - hubby said its a fair old drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 It might be, but the Baader zoom eyepiece is worth 100 quid on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrsR Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Would you say it's worth the drive then? What worries me buying second hand is that I don't really know what im looking at and to know whether its in decent nick or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 True, this is the risk you take. However most folks are reliable, he's on SGL, and he's been there a while. I bought mine from a chap in Newbury, and at the time didn't really know what I was looking at,but it turned out OK. With regard to 365, I think his name is Berne, and I have only heard good things about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr T Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 If there's a store close to where you live, buy from them (unless they have realy bad press) as most stores can negotiate on price in line with competitors. But the real value is you should be speaking face to face with somebody with knowlege about the equipment and with the equipment right there in front of you - I found this invaluable.
