Unfortunately, I have read of too many believable people who sent Brian money and were promised product or astro items, only to wait way past the expected and promised time of delivery. Then to be completely ignored. Many unanswered emails, unanswered phone calls and virtually no communication at all. I have not heard of anyone being out money as he has refunded money to each and everyone I personally heard from. I think there are one or two of them here on this list. Hobby or not when I send someone money and get a promise I expect it to be kept or at least a phone call to explain why it is not. Just my views, yours may vary. Steve

I just got off the phone with Brian Greer of Protostar. Protostar is one of three businesses that Brian runs and it's not the one that puts groceries on the table. He answered on the first ring and told me about the business issues he had last year. He says that now he is again taking orders and plans to have his backlog worked off soon. I ordered online back in July when his wait time was 16 weeks and now he's taking orders for 6 weeks out.
Having bought telescope and ATM equipment over the years from the likes of Discovery, Novak, and Coulter, I learned patience long ago. I understand that this is really just a hoby and it's supposed to be fun for all concerned, even suppliers like Brian.
