SkyWatcher Black Diamond 12inch collapsible Dobsonian

Reluctant sale of my Sky Watcher Black Diamond 12inch collapsible truss tube dobsonian.
Specs: Diameter 305mm, Focal Length 1500mm, secondary mirror diameter 70mm, F/ratio F/5, Highest practical magnification 610x, faintest stellar magnitude 14.9.
Comes with all original bits and pieces - Instruction manual, 1.25inch Plossl 10mm and 25mm eyepieces, Yorkoptical polarising filter, Yorkoptical 2x barlow, 8x50 finderscope, 2inch eyepiece adapter.
In addition, i'll add in:
- a 2 inch 40mm Konig eyepiece (not sure the FOV but it's wide),
- an Orion 2 inch 13mm 68 degree FOV eyepiece
- a mobile phone adapter so you can take some images through the eyepieces
- a laser Collimator
- an Orion red dot finder.
I'm thinking of $1100 for the lot.
I live in the outer Eastern suburbs of Melbourne but the telescope lives in South Gippsland. Welcome any inspection in either of these areas.

Hi Steve, no I'm not thanks that's a bit high and I can sourced a 12" cheaper. I'm not really interested in the EPs they are ordinary in a fast scope. Thanks for putting forward the offer though. Cheers, John.

Hi Steve, I'm interested in a dobsonian that I can fit in the back of my SUV without dropping the back seat. Would you mind passing me the dimensions of the box the OTA travels in?
Thanks,
Matt.

Hi Matt. The ota collapses down so it can be carried around fairly easily. I lie it down on the back seat of my Rav4. The ota doesn't have a box.
Regards
Steve

Hi Steve, I'm in Eltham. Can I come see the telescope? Assuming all is OK (it's in good nick, fits in the car, etc), I'll take it.
Cheers, Matt.
