Folks this scope is now listed on ebay au and has a bid that reached the reserve price, and has a number of Watchers. There was a Buy It Now price on ebay exactly the same as the price listed here, $650 for the package. However, once a bid is received that meets the set Reserve price the Buy it Now drops out. Effectively the price is now whatever the highest bid is on the ebay listing. So if your interested in this great 12" Dob then keep an eye on the ebay listing because it will close in less than a week.

Note that it will be sold because an ebay sale cannot be cancelled after a bid is received that meets the Reserve unless the buyer agrees to do that. So I encourage any interested IIS members to get onto the ebay auction and lodge their bid.
