Hi,
Like the guys say, astromart is fairly reputable, fraud on is is rare thankfully.
I've bought alot of stuff on it over the years, it is "the" secondhand astro equipment site.

Sinar,
UK Astro buy/sell is also good. You might just pick up a bargain. Also check Ukastroimaging, which has a good for sale section
www.astrobuysell.com/uk/
www.ukastroimaging.co.uk
At least inside the EU you know you don't have to worry about being hit with a second bill by the postman.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll take it all on board when I’m making the plunge.
I’ll keep any eye out on all the websites suggested.

Just a quick post to say thank you again to all who gave me advice on buying online.
Today I took delivery of a C9.25 SCT OTA. Second hand in mint condition. Seller even threw in some eyepieces a filter and a barlow.
I sourced it by use of a Wanted add on www.astrobuysell.com/uk
So another award for Dave Grennan who suggested the site.
Dont worry about the whole cloud jinx thing from a purchase of a new scope.
I dont have a mount for it...
Regards
Marty
