Hi
The LX200GPS is a nice scope and easy to use for beginners The inbuilt computerised goto works well but it will need the latest firmware revision installed.
These telescopes have been around for 10 years and your description makes it look to be quite an early release. It's value would be around $2000. I don't understand the reference to Windows 98 as the optional computer interface is platform independent, except that it makes the telescope look like one of the early releases.
Many of these early LX200's had problems with very poor goto accuracy due to poor mechanical assembly, orthogonality, that needs to be corrected.
Before you buy I would suggest you get someone to check it over for you.
