For the extra $1500 you could buy the trailer and use it as a shipping crate just ask for it to be filled with packing material for free.
PS get them to pack it with corn since there is now a world shortage and then you can sell it here at a premium.

The problem is those guys don't have the crates the scope came in, so are unable to ship it anywhere.

Mark.
Anybody who says that Earthshine is reflected Sunshine is talking Moonshine.

Good job the people who dragged the Bluestones all the way from Wales to Stonehenge just for Midsummer's Day didn't worry about "crates".The problem is those guys don't have the crates the scope came in, so are unable to ship it anywhere.

NO. There is no cure for him, Frank.
Suppose he gets the 30".
I bet his signature will then be:

more like
"thinking about the 40" obsession put me into a mental asylum, but hey, I saw more stars there then I would have with the 40inch"
As it happens, obsession stopped making the 30" scopes a few months back as it was a short term limited run, they made only 6 36" scopes, they stopped making them because as Kriege said "they nearly killed my staff".
As for stonehenge, its amazing what you can do if you think god is telling you to do it! :lol:
I hope corn makes for good packing material
