In my experience, most owners of his work do anything BUT use those instruments for astronomy. They are either dining room trophies to be admired but not used, or they are short term "investments" to be quickly on-sold at a profit. ("Flipped".)

Somebody intent on astronomy would buy something much less expensive but just as good. And they can do that without being made to wait. A-P instruments are nice, but they aren't produced for astronomers.
