I think you would do better to sell the two setups separately.
The full tube 10" on its original base for between $550 - $650 (RRP $899)
[ I personally bought a "near mint" 10" collapsible at a very good price of $550 some years ago)

And the 10" goto base for around the same price maybe $600-$700.
(not sure of the RRP but suspect it is around $990 ?)

However, sold together, I would not expect to pay much more than say $975.
Assuming it works well together in goto operation.
And that the OTA can be mounted on (either of) both bases - after the conversion has been applied to the OTA. (otherwise the old base is not much use to this user, IMHO).

I also wonder how the Go-To base performs with the full tube OTA?
I expect it is designed to work with the collapsible.
And the full tube appears to be 1500 fl while the collapsible is 1200 fl.
This may require the use of counterweights to obtain the balance needed for accurate goto?
