All the people happy all the time?

Posted By Administrator

Hello,
I notice that there are "individuals" who place multiple ads in the
various listings - such as Binoculars - where I presently have an ad. Are
not these people "Dealers" - the way ATWB is a Dealer? Why should individual
sellers have to compete with these people?



Some like Markus Ludes, do identify themselves as Dealers by listing
themselves as an AstroMart Supporter using the yellow block etc. But a lot
of these others don't - and they list 5 to 10 items at a time...crowding-out
individuals. I think you should force these folks either onto a separate
listing for Dealers Only - or else insist that they list as an AstroMart
Supporter. The present system is unfair to individuals such as myself. Thank
you.

Herb,

After months of talking to a guy in China named Michael Fong I thought I was doing the right thing but just got nailed.

He wanted me to become a US distributor of China made optics and Tak equipment.

My search for a great mount led me back to him. He offered to sell me a Tak NJP for $3900. I couldn’t resist and wired him the cash on 9/2. I got a glass brick in the mail today.

I have my bank looking into what they can do.

I wanted to know if you have come across him and if you have maybe you could help me find him or at least alert others not to talk to him. He has a very sexy assortment of PICTURES of great stuff we all want.

Thanks for any ideas.

Same old crap

Posted By Administrator

Hello
I just tried to sign into my account at Astromart & got a message stating that my user account has been banned. WHY????


I am a novice astronomer who figured out the wirring for the Celestar hand controllers & tried to help out others by building them & selling them at a very low price. I posted an ad on Astromart & now I am banned. What kind of crap is this???


Very ticked off,

Wouldn't accept his SUPPORT

Posted By Administrator

Sorry....I should have said, rich, PARANOID, yuppie crooks. I bet you don't even know how to make a decent telescope mirror. Thats OK, Washington and
Oregon will soon be covered in ashes and your stupid
telescope store will be gone.
I won't recommend asstromart to anyone. I'll tell them what a bunch of pigs you are.

Posted By Administrator

Sorry for the EXPLOSION last night to those that were unfortunate enough to see it.
I turned off s.a.a about 10 AM today and I am feeling better now.
Sorry Arthur.
