Hello there Bob


I would put each item one at a time in Googles search engine. By clicking used, for sale, and shopping will get you a ball park figure of what each item is selling for. I would sell each item separately at Craigslist.

I think 60% of new price is a good starting point for equipment in top condition.
I also agree that you will be better off if you are prepared to split the items. Especially things like the Ethos13mm, Zenith Star 80mm scope, Losmandy bars etc. These will also be a lot easier to post around the country, which can then be negotiable.

Hi Bob,

Here's a search of the IceInSpace Classified archives for prior sales listings your main show pony, the Meade LX200 12. It should point you in the right direction. Just be aware of date of sale too...

Meade LX200 12 Classified Archives Search (https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/search.php?searchid=7525122)

Having a look through those listings suggests something like $2100 to 2600 for the LX200 12

Best
