wah..even John Teh has reappeared to "fight" for it.
too bad gavin already owns one. he's one guy who is insane enough to wake up at 5.30 am morning to bid for it!
Hi Rich 1,

Maybe you should be more careful with your choice of words, as you wouldn't want the lawyer to take action on you... haha! :)

Anyway, they say that "the early bird catches the worm", that happens to be very true here!

yah lor...how come can 10 cents one?
Don’t know why either.
Earlier had no choice but to block a top bidder with a dubious ID and zero feedback.
This resulted in the next highest bidder with a 10 cent increment.

For this auction, having 0 feedback is no impediment to place bid, as long as bidder send seller a note indicating interest and intention before placing a bid. I remember we were all newbies once in the not so distant past.

Have fun

I created a new Yahoo ID for bidding and tried to bid with 8 secs remainding, when I entered the amount and press enter, Yahoo said "Thank You for registering" :(

Anyway congrats to the winner of this auction.

The auction has finally closed. I will like to take this opportunity to congratulate the new owner of this LX90 (Singastro member IIRC) at an unprecedented price of $1310.10. Hope he will be another regular in the astro scene.

Thanks

wow....you should have sold this last year when I was looking for an 8" goto.
the price is really great man! congrats to you and the new owner. :D
btw, who is this new singastro owner? he seems to have an interesting mix of auction items. pity john teh missed by 10 cents...he drives so we can be sure had he won we will be seeing this scope at all the dark places in singapore, especially the dark changi shoreline he showed us previously.

Alamak, guess what… Shouldn't count chickens before they are hatched.

Just got an email from the winner citing reasons of withdrawal. so deal is effectively nullified. It will be relisted soon when timing is right. However i'll also accept direct offers to save time and hassle.
