Is Skies Unlimited a good vendor? - Cloudy Nights
2017年4月18日 · I personally met Bob and Ted several years ago at NEAF (Stellarvue Dinner). They are both first class all the way.

Consignments? - Refractors - Cloudy Nights
2024年1月21日 · I’ve used Skies Unlimited and have been pleased with the outcome. They will take images and advertise the items on their website.

Keep in mind that you'll pay state and local taxes buying in person.
