I would consider selling my equipment if I could get a reasonable price.
I am just not using it -
I haven't used it for 4 years.
It is a big job to set it all up and we've had too many cloudy nights.

The last time was January 31, 2017 here:

The last time I advertised my old Newt -
a 10" f6 I didn't get even one reply here at Ice in Space and
I was offering it at 1/3 rd of the cost I paid.

My latest Newt is a carbon fiber 10" f4 -
that cost me a fortune but I bet people would want it for nothing -
the same with the mount and mono camera.

People should bear that in mind when they buy astro equipment.
Unless you buy a high end refractor
Astro Physics, Takahashi, TMB -
it's almost a certainty
that it will be a total loss when you ever want to sell it.
