Meade LX 200 10 inch seems cheap.

Had a lady ring me up,and want me to take a look at a telescope she needs to sell,she lives not far from me,I promptly forgot to have a look,but will go and have a look-as she rang again this morn.

Apparently,its a Meade 10 inch LX 200 a 93 model,has wedge,she says its a WQ mount,but then says she has the wedge.So make me think its Alt-Az.

She,said today,she wants to sell it and get rid off it,and was asking $750 for the whole kit-eye pieces,computer controller etc.I told her good luck-as its harder to sell second hand astro gear,than a second hand fishing boat.

I have no interest in Meades,and only use my gear 2-3 times a year,so thought I'd mention it here.Have no idea if that's a fair price,or if anyone actually uses Meades these days,but a 10 inch S.C at that price appeared to me someone here might be interested.

I'll take some photos and rumage around and check it all out if anyone interested.
