$1250 is a good price for an EQ6 with the full Monty EQMOD rig. That should include the EQDIR dongle and an RS232 cable back to the PC (or a USB-RS232 cable). The wildcard remains the condition of the mount.
At 1400, a bare EQ6 is pretty good also but I'm not sure what the SYnscan add-on entails. If it is just the hand controller, and nothing more, then the mount should be EQMOD capable as-is. Assuming that to be right, then 1400 is a good price for a new mount and all you would need to get the set up your own EQMOD is an EQDIR dongle from Shoestring (or a local equivalent) and the cabling back to your PC/Laptop. Those are cheap. The EQDIR from Shoestring is about US$35-40. That would certainly take out any uncertainty about buying second-hand.
