As for psychological bidding games that eBay fosters, I just don't want to go there. I think I made one purchase on eBay, using the purchase now button. Thanks to the Adblock Plus' Element Hiding Helper, vast areas of Amazon have disappeared. I don't have to click on that stuff, but its very presence is unpleasant. I have an especial loathing of shopping cart ads.Īmazon bombards you with advertising, recommendations (more advertising), listings of what others have looked at (still more advertising), listings of what others have purchased along with what you are looking at (advertising on top of advertising), and social media links (ooo, lookie what I just bought!!, advertising to your soon to be ex-friends). I can avoid some of that, but overall, my shopping experience becomes increasingly unpleasant the more a store pulls these tricks. It's similar to brick and mortar sales tactics, which include loyalty cards, product placement (never purchase from an end display, always look way down and way up), Musak, and impulse buy displays. Yes, I don't have to play the game, but it's a bit of work to fight the tactics of the store, Web site, or seller. Who cares if someone is 'gaming' you? Don't play the game.Īctually, here's where I disagree.

Like I said, set your price limit, stick to it, and the rest of it is irrelevant. You're getting caught up in a psychological game of your own making. Remember absolute power corrupts and corrupts absolutely.īid retractions? It doesn't matter. It's very good to have accountability because it keeps us driving between the lines and the fun continues. On CN by giving ratings on items purchased and sold some people would take advantage and would

I won't do business with a company or an individual who has show by their behavior their not to be trusted. It's not a mistake when they break their own rules because the rules are there for show not to enforce any type of consequences. Why should they? Their making big money by pushing the biding. The owner and they use this against bidders by making sure they know they've been out bid.Į-Bay knows that most people don't stop to investigate on a item or how the biding is being carried on.īut when the rare occasion that someone calls to complain they just say 'will look into it' and then theyĭo nothing. I had the lead at $75 and my high bid was $80. I was bidding on a Meade 2' 20mm UWA on E-Bay. I compared the view with one from a Takahashi 9mm ortho, because I could. Unfortunately, at 100x the moon still looked like crap. This showed when looking at the moon there was no flaring at all. More importantly, the TMB uses a well blackened tube. Indeed, you can't really fix the undercut by taping, as there is no flat surface to apply the tape.

The TMB is also essentially grease free when it comes the the eye relief height adjustment threads. The TMB doesn't have a screwdriver slot in the ring. The eyepieces use a lock ring at the top, just under the rubber eye cup. I took the eyepiece apart, and there are differences with the latest BST eyepieces. The 2.5mm sells for $40, while the 3.2 sells for closer to $100. It turns out it was a TMB Planetary II for $50.

They list three eyepieces (6, 3.2, and 2.5mm) that look a lot like the Barsta TMB Planetary type eyepieces. Amazon listed Solomark, a brand that appears to be a fine purveyor of stuff, lots of different stuff. I was looking for a 6mm eyepiece, because, well, just because.
