8" Dobsonian delivered to Sydney for $450.

It looks like a good deal to me any advice appreciated?

You will get many different opinions.
$450 for an 8" dob is a good price. Even if the base is made from particle board and begins to swell up you could always make a new one.

Its not a bad deal at all in my opinion.
