Are you equating return with refund?

How is OPTCorp's <Quote>Return Policy (aka "Trade-in/Trade-up")</Quote>
https://www.optcorp.com/returns.aspx superior to
ScopeStuff's http://www.scopestuff.com/ss_con1.htm --

I'm not sure that this is not outdated or just sloppy ad copy transcription.
Look at the ad copy for http://www.handsonoptics.com/ep_skyinstruments.html.
It appears they have exactly swapped the copy of the Abbe Orthos and
the Plossls and neither exactly matches (45<>40 and 52<>40) the copy
on the Sky Instruments' website.
