I called today to inquire about purchasing some solar eclipse glasses for October’s partial eclipse, to permit my child’s two 5^th grade classrooms a safe and fun viewing experience. They had 34 in stock, which would have been perfect if the kids shared, and wouldn’t negotiate a better price than their 3.50 a pair price. These inexpensive low-​tech glasses cost about .80 on Amazon, even before bulk pricing. The disinterested woman answering the phone wouldn’t even consider negotiating, not even for a 60 5^th-​grader partial eclipse event at school, and I was still willing to pay a marked up price. I happen to know this guy is close to the only gig in town for telescope maintenance and repairs, but if and when the time comes for my scope to be serviced you can bet I’ll sooner drive out of town than give this place my business.
