His response was that the eyepiece was still available and that either a check or cash would work. I was just not up to speed on PayPal. I responded that I would send him a check for the eyepiece and that I just needed his address to send it to. He responded with the information and then said he had some other UltraScopics and (forget the name but Celestron's 82 degree eyepieces) that he was "fixing" to post on CN if I was interested. I have a full set of Meade UWA eyepiece, including some older focal lengths, but responded that I would be interested in finding out what Ultrascopics he had.

My reply was I would write a $280 check tonight and get it in the mail tomorrow (which was yesterday, and the mail lady did pick up the letter with the check).
Using those eyepieces and the Celestron Ultimas that I have bought, I will have 7.5, 12.5, and 30mm in Ultimas, then the 10, 15, 20, and 25mm in Ultrascopics. The only two I might be interested in beyond that is the Celestron 18mm, which nobody else carried, and maybe the 35mm. With a Meade #140 2X
The recent withdrawals from my astronomy piggy bank have pulled a hard vacuum on it, so there will not be much active searching for the two remaining focal lengths for a while. I do have an
