Bargain?
Just throwing this out there for some feedback.
I still haven't purchased a scope which will be a dob at least an 8 inch possibly a 10 (probably a 10). I have been scanning the classifieds just out of interest.
Today on Gumtree a Takahashi FS-128 appeared with an EQ mount/tripod. It didn't have any eye pieces. For a price I couldn't believe. $75.00. I was thinking it would be worth the gamble but sold (maybe not surprisingly) very quickly.
Do people with more experience think this is an incredible price? It looked in good condition in the photos. I know you would have to look at in person to truly gauge its condition. Maybe it damaged, who knows.
The man selling it didn't seem to know what he was selling. He was more concerned his son had left something at his house that was taking up too much space. So he sold it. I wonder how happy his son will be?
Maybe someone on the forum bought it. I would be interested to hear what the condition was like.
