I have decided to sell my Celestron CGX Mount. It was purchased in the last week of December 2016 from Bintel, and is one of the first five sold by Bintel. It has been residing in my observatory since then, sitting on a pier. The tripod has only been used twice.
The CGX is a a belt drive mount, with spring loaded worm carriers, the belts and worm are properly adjusted. This mount provides 25kg of imaging capacity. Full description and features are detailed here:

The Celestron CGX is currently selling for $3749 new from Bintel. I am offering my CGX here for $2400 (not negotible). I would prefer local pick up at Lake Macquarie NSW, as it is difficult for me to move it now. I have the original boxes if you want them, but not sure they are robust enough to ship long distances, after having sat in my shed since delivered. If you do wish to have it shipped then the buyer will have to organise that at their expense.
The mount can be seen/inspected at my location at Lake Macquarie. You will note a photo of my winter shroud, which is a low watt bulb heater to keep condensation off of the mount, this is available if the buyer wishes it (no extra cost).
I can include the custom pier mount blocks made by TPI Astro of Canada. Obviously the tripod is included along with the hand controller, and the two supplied counter weights.
If your interested then please PM me here. Payment terms would be cash or bank cheque on pickup, or direct deposit if shipped.
Photos to follow. Thanks for looking. Glend
