LOL hey Kat, if I get a scope for looking at poop to check for cocci any cheap suggestions? I want it for pups, dogs and chickens etc. I havent a clue as to what I need to look for!

BENNY you have suggestions as well?

@Sally Sunshine
I dont think you need an expensive one for looking at poop. Also second hand has to be the way to go for good value. Schools and colleges (and biotech) are ALWAYS replacing microscopes, so the market is awash with good second hand models. You can get more microscope than you can ever use from the UCSD surplus sales for $50 -$75. Only issue is that you need to be sure that they are in working order. They come from labs closing due to lack of research funding so usually work perfectly.

The other place to look is ebay. They have cheaper, lower end, though perfectly usable scopes for shockingly little $$

It's a great scope, but it's one of those "too good to be true".

DH's reasons not to buy:

• The seller created his/her account today.
• Seller has zero feedback.
• Florida seems to be the ebay ripoff state.
• The mfg part number shown on the ad does not appear to be valid, as in it doesn't show up on the AmScope site.
• $49 and free shipping? Again too good to be true.

If you have a disposable $50, maybe... buyer beware!

X2 everything Kathy said. Avoid this one.

If something does not arrive or is crap Ebay will support the buyer.
We only had one problem buying from ebay when an item that was too good to be true did not arrive (from China). We got our $$ back no problem.

As a seller it is a PITA as people get buyers remorse/want things for free and will want to return items (at your expense) or keep them for free claiming they are "don't fit" but want them anyway. Happened a couple of times to me so I can not be bothered to sell anything on Ebay. Too much hassle when you really only just want to recycle something.
