Skywatcher GOTO 12" DOB; 8 months old! $1400 for the next few days only.

Howdy
Up on offer is a near new Skywatcher 12" GOTO dob, purchased from that lovely Astropetes, in December 2016, so still under another 4.5 years of warranty. I am chasing $1700 as it has been used on a few times as I have another manual dob that I really like and need the cash for other 'enterprises'!! Comes with a jump start battery pack (with built in light and can power the Dob at a dark sky location) and also a powercord so you can run it directly off a mains. I assume you have your own eyepieces but if you need a couple of the standard 10/20mm Plossls I can throw them in for you! Here are the specs, and I have the original receipt for you for warranty purposes. Yes the mirror is in perfect condition and I took these pics early evening so if they look a bit grainy, there is definitely nothing on the mirror, and everything is FULLY WORKING! I have the manuals too, so all in all a great setup at the very decent price of $1400 (saves you $900 and in new condition too). I live near the Logan Hyperdome and work from home so you can come around nearly anytime! I have another person I know who wants it but hasn't paid yet and therefore I offering this cheap ASAP only as it most likely will disappear in the next 2 days. Not a sales pitch just offering you a good deal before I get bent over by a friend for a cheap price...sigh!
(Sorry the pics are sideways, I just can't get them to position right!)

I am happy to box this up for you if you want to organize a courier. The last 12" dob that was couriered cost the gentleman about $230 off the top of my head, so not too bad really and I can negotiate a little to help you out.
