I was going to sell my 8", but I changed my mind. It's worth more to me than the money I'd get for it. Even though I have a 10" also, it's a good second scope that I can take anywhere and let other people (incl. non-astronomers, kids etc) use without having to worry about what might happen to it.
Andrews and Myastroshop have the Skywatcher 8" for little over $400. My advice would be to scrape a few more $s together, and approach a local retailer and get them to match best price you find anywhere.
