Lots of stores (including Rockler and SawStop) have higher prices on Amazon for the same equipment, and I don't blame them. So if you want to buy from them, make sure it is absolutely 1000% going to work for your setup, otherwise you might lose a few hundred bucks on a return.ĭefinitely don't buy from Amazon. But there's plenty of other shops out there like Starizona who will accept a returned item, no questions asked. Not sure how this is possible considering I never even attached the camera to my guidescope. When they got the item back, even though i had never used it, they claimed it had shown signs of "wear" and added the restocking fee. I tried to return an ASI 290mm in exchange for an ASI 174mm. For instance, you can't be sure that your guide camera/scope can work with your setup. However in astronomy, a very technical hobby where items don't always work, returns are often needed. I understand smaller shops have to compensate for lost $ with opened items. This is a problem, especially if you're buying very expensive items, that 10-20% restocking fee can quickly add up to hundreds of dollars.
They also charge 10-15% above market value on amazon to compensate for amazons cut. On amazon, they will slap on a restocking fee even if you returned the item unopened. However, they do NOT like when you return things, and will often slap a 15% restocking fee onto whatever you returned, no matter the condition. Items were shipped quickly and they were very efficient. The first several times I bought from them, I had 0 problems. They seem to be a popular vendor on Amazon as well as in the astronomy community. Just wanted to warn everyone about buying from Agena Astro. r/telescopes aims to be a high quality sub where users can discuss all things telescopes and astronomy, but allowing such repetitive and low-effort posts will drastically lower the overall quality of the sub. Low-effort content such as those complaining about the weather (we get it, clouds are bad), simple questions that usually result in one line responses (these should be posted in our weekly discussion threads instead), general 'shitposting', memes, etc. Titles should be descriptive about what you're discussing/posting. Titles should not be 'clickbaity' nor self-deprecating - we're all here to learn so there is no point in calling yourself a 'noob' and/or putting yourself down.
