[[1ponders]]

What:eyepop: selling :jawdrop: Coming over to the dark side :face: :cool: :party: :D



How old is your gear Anthony (Striker) ? It can't be more than 6 months old????/

[frogman]

no, not going to buzz click world !
i would like to see just how much it would be worth to someone......nothing to buy...get straight into it !

[Starkler]

I always thought the LX's sounded like those coffee vending machines :lol:



Its hard to say and depends what buyers are around.
If a buyer was going to buy that exact item new if your gear wasnt on the market you might get 75 to 80% of new price if in excellent cond.

Are you no longer interested in Astronomy Frogman?

[frogman]

dude i dont know....... i prefer having a chat and looking through others scopes!
the only time i look is when everyone comes up! that remindsme, if i sell everyone is still able to come up and "play".... until i leave here that is !

[iceman]

Shame to hear it froggy!

I reckon you'd be looking at around $1k, maybe a little more with the EP's thrown in.

Rod just sold his 12" that he won, for $1k, without the mods and EP's that you have. They're about $1100 new I think?

[ving]

a shame indeed.
like mike said about $1k. I'd say no more tho...

a buzz-click may rekindle your interests tho anthony. you might wish to consider it as it takes all the guess work out and star hopping, which if you arent into star hopping then it can be a pain in the butt.

Good point Ving, I owned my ETX goto first then bought the GSO rust'o'matic, I kept the ETX as a guider for the dob, I set them both up at the same time, I bought the same finder for the ETX as is on the dob (looks kinda funny) so I can compare sky views, works a treat, so dont sell it, buy a cheap secondhand ETX, even an ETX70 will work, you'll get so much more from your viewing.

[ving]

O' man, i feel for you and your rust nightshift, i really do!
:)

your scope was from a bad bunch....

[h0ughy]

Yes it is nice to seagull other scopes etc, but you will never be able to replace having your own, if you do sell it get an ED80, smaller more compact, easier to carry and set up with an alt az mount? If you leave your current employer what will the boys do? Where were you thinking of moving to?:(
