Jo,
I've sold 2 lensometers in the past year alone.I could have sold a brand new (still in the box untouched by human hands) Grolman fitting Unit!:)I fianlly decided that I couldn't bear to part with it! Like the man said, I'm not the brightest bulb in the socket!

I've sold an autorefractor, a phoroptor, and a slit lamp through the forum. The e-mail option is nice because you don't have to work the deals out in the "open".
I purchased a number of optometric lanes for a consulting project.
I also purchased some great frames, and am in the process of purchasing a back-up projector.
This is the forum that I found when I searched "optometric equipment" in a general search engine. This is how I first discovered the OptiBoard.
As opticians, we sometimes (usually) don't have the financial capabilities of the other 2 O's. This forum (I mean this in the nicest way) is the "garage sale" of the optical world. Note that I didn't say "flea market", because unlike places where items are sold from the back of cars, the optical marketplace forum allows you to deal w/ people that you have daily conversation with.
What would be a nice addition to the forum (although I could see it turn into a product bashing forum), would be a "product review forum". I know it's touchy w/ sponsors that might get caught in the crossfire, but w/ all the changing technology, it would be a great resource. It might be a great sponsor tool as well...if you had "pay for (re)views" In this case the sponsor would have an infomercial type posting that would be read everytime a member logged on. They spend millions w/ Jobson every month, why not here where they know they'll get an educated consumer ?
Thanks again for the great job !
