Striker if the scope is exactly the same as the one in the advert the grand asking price i reckon is a great buy . The cheapest EQ5 price ive seen is $499 from Andrews Communications , add another $250 for a dual axis motors plus a approx $300 for steel tubular legs. With your friends scope you get all this plus a 6 inch Mak OTA ,very nice , good luck on your decision.
PS: if your going for a mount i would go for a HEQ5 {grands worth} or if you willing the eq6. I have a EQ5 , its not bad {except for the aluminium legs} for my short tube refractor but i wouldnt like to have a 8"newt on it . By the time you bulk up a EQ5 youll be in HEQ5 terrioity .
