Thanks Chuck. I got both the humorous and serious sides of the post! I have already had two full-price offers on the scope and accessories ($7140): one from Australia and one from Texas. I am still hoping for a local buyer, but I won't last long at this rate. Sorry to break your heart. Keep raising money... I'm sure another one will come along soon! :) Tyler -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Chuck Hards Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 5:45 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Astro-Physics AP130 EDF F/6 for sale :-( Aw, Tyler, I *was* serious. Heck, I raised what, nearly 7% of your asking price in only a few hours? If Jerry Lewis can do it, why can't I? (With apologies to Erik, but, priorities, you know, brother?) ;-) A little 54-year-old boy is going to go to bed tonight terribly disappointed. Yes, let that weigh upon your collective souls. My final, post-divorce, poverty-stricken, deeply in-debt- offer: $100 a month for 60 months. And a free ticket into the Heavenly Kingdom. I promise! ;-) Seriously Tyler, good luck on Astromart. I was just taking a stab at a wild long-odds chance and having some fun. Retirement is still a LONG way off, dammit. What a terrific telescope, what a terrific offer.
