Hello Friend
Ah, the allure of a used telescope! Shiny, full of history, and ready for a new home. But before we dive into the cosmos of online shopping, why not take a safe tour of our galaxy first? Check out our collection of inspected and approved used gear right here: Khan Scope's Used Gear Collection.
Now, back to that story about how not to turn your stargazing dreams into a daytime nightmare.
You see, I was chatting with a customer just the other day, from Nova Scotia and he was all set to buy a used Meade telescope from one of those online platforms. Local shopping with a hands-on look? Great! But online, shipped, and unseen? Hold on there, Galileo!
Now, this seller wanted an e-transfer before even packing the fragile beauty. Accused our buyer of "being a scammer for not trusting him." Oh, the irony! But once the money is sent, what's stopping the seller from taking a trip to Miami instead of shipping your telescope? You'd be surprised how often this happens.
Fear not, fellow stargazers! Khan Scope does sell used gear, inspected with love by our technicians who know exactly what to look for. No funny business here, unless it's a joke about a black hole's dining habits (they eat a lot; it's a gravity thing).
And speaking of gravity, we're also pulled towards buying used gear. Being in Toronto, we have customers looking for affordable gear all the time. So if you have something you want to trade in or just sell outright, we'll make sure it doesn't feel like a black hole sucking away your investment.
Just hit reply to this email if you have something you would like to trade-in or sell outright.
Clear Skies
