It's not the type of scope that gives it that price, just the company that produced it and it's small production run. Most Astro-Physics scopes sell for more second hand than new price, even current models in production, because you have to wait up to 9 years on a notification list to buy one brand new.

My guess is that the person buying it will never use it. There is a 90% chance it was purchased simply as a collectible item.
