Expression of Interest

I just want to get a idea of how much interest (if any) would there be in buying a 18"Truss DOB F4.5 telescope, I imported this scope from the USA back in 1990,It was used a lot at Ilford up until about 1994 and has only be used a few times since, it has been keep in a Cabin at the back of the house and been well looked after , if there is any interest I will get it out of the cabin and take a few pics and post them here.But because my m8 has been using the cabin as his own furniture storage unit until his new house is built,it may be a week or so before I can get at it :( in the mean time if anyone is interested please let me know.
Thanks
P.S Sorry I should have said that I'm in Woy Woy on the Central Coast NSW

I was asked by a member who did I buy the Telescope from, so I looked up Sky & Telescope and found the add on page 315 September 1989 it was
Sky Designs
4100 Felps #C.
Colelyville
Texas.76034.
I will track down the receipt and the instructions that came with the scope,as soon as I can get into the Cabin :)

You might get some replies if people know what $$$ you are talking about.

There don't seem to be much interest,I know Mike was interested, guess he changed his mind. I'll give it until the week end and see what happens.

I'm still interested (sorry I haven't responded to your PM yet), but I just can't afford it right now.

I'm saving up for an EQ6 :)

For those who are interested in this telescope I can say that this is a great instrument. Nightsky and I used to observe together for many years and I can say that the scope has a great Mirror and delivers impressive views. For a large telescope it is easy to moove and quite compact.
A great Telescope

maybe a ball park $ figure might get some interest.

G'Day Mike,
I don't want to be forced into a price and end up with egg on my face if I can't deliver.I would prefer to check every thing out before hand,see if it's working etc,and what will be included.Then I'll say what I would like sell it for,even to give a "ball park $ figure" may be unfair to the buyer.

[sejanus]

i know what you mean but people won't venture much interest until they know your price as it may be way out of their reach. if you gave a price I'm sure you'd get a few bites.

[mick pinner]

consider me interested, if you like PM with any details or thoughts you may have so far.

I should have stated this in my original post and apologise if anyone has been mislead. This is a large scope and would be impossible to post so it would be "pick up only" and I should also state that when I work out what will be included etc and put a price on it,it will be "try before you buy".
