Skywatcher BD ED80 with Electric focuser

I'm not using my beloved ED80 since my Tak purchase so it's up for sale.

This is the Black Diamond package with the 10:1 focuser, 28mm eyepiece, finderscope, diagonal, and metal case.
I've also added a Skywatcher electric focuser which has made fine focusing when imaging much easier. I have the knob that was removed to fit the electric focuser so I'll make sure that's included in case you want to remove the Electric Focuser.

The case has a couple of dings in it and I've cut a chunk out of the card/foam in the case to fit the Electric Focuser. The scope and accessories are in good condition.
I'll also throw in a bahtinov mask.

Price to buy new is:
BD ED80 - $1099
SW Electric Focuser - $89

I'm after $750 for both.

Shipping will be extra but I'd much prefer to sell to someone locally (I'm in Sydney) and I'd be happy to drive a couple of hours to meet half way if necessary.

You can see some images I've done using this scope here: http://hughsblog.wordpress.com/tag/ed80/
