Astromart Classifieds, is possibly the grand-daddy of the astronomy gear sites. It has existed in one form or another for at least 15 years. Currently' Astromart is hosted by Anacortes Telescope and Wild Bird ( by Herb York and his family. For a fee of $12.00 to register, users can browse between 800 to 1000 ads with 10 to 15% of those being new ads on a daily basis. Here you can find anything from $40.00 department store refractors to $40,000 observatory set ups. Ads are posted from all over the world. The knowledge gained from the photos posted on the site are worth the price of admission. There are also forums and reviews that are well worth the time to investigate. Astromart also has extensive support and sponsorship opportunities for astronomy related vendors to advertise and support the site.Canada-wide Astronomy Buy & Sell as the name implies, is based in Canada and is run by Paul Markov. Paul is a long time member of the Toronto Centre of the Royal astronomical Society of Canada, and originally set up the site to match buyers and sellers in the Toronto area. Since then, the site has grown to encompass telescope and astronomy equipment offerings and quests from all over Canada and the north-eastern United States. The idea has followed the geography of the old British Empire and now has sibling sites in the United Kingdom and Australia . Users will have to register for the sites but there is no fee attached; traffic is lower volume in nature but is more specific to the geographical market. There are also opportunities for businesses with astronomy products to support and advertise on the site.Cloudy Nights Classifieds grew out of the Cloudy Nights reviews forums where subscribers to site would post reviews and tests of various telescopes and other astronomy equipment. As was bound to happen, some of the forum commentary included offers for sale of some equipment and the Classifieds site grew from those offerings to its present form. The site is hosted by a long time telescope and astronomy gear vendor named "Astronomics" (Astronomics.com). Registration is required to view the complete ads.
