John Petterson All Messages By This Member #353 开云体育 I would suggest listing it on cloudy nights as well...? I tend to sell things much faster there, many more people are on that site. Figure out how far you are willing to drive to meet someone and list that in the ad - unless you are confident about shipping this beast.? Then get payment before taking off (at least to cover your gas and time in case they decide they don't like it when they see it.)

Mark Bungart All Messages By This Member #354 开云体育 Second the suggestion for Cloudynights. I stopped using AM years ago. Nice scope!

Jeffrey D. Gortatowsky #355 Having used both many time, AM gets more results for me. And gets serious buyers. But that's me.? I don't like paying Herb, but the site is worth it if you want to move your item. That is my experience.? Ah.... a driven classic... I'd trade you straight across for a UC22... alas ... OH is a bit far!! :)?? Good luck. Both sites are worth posting to! ---------------------------------------?
