I am continually amazed by the prices people ask and what they pay for second hand Astro-Physics refractors. Currently on Astromart there are two up for grabs..a 206 Triplet APO f/8 for $50K USD and a 160 EDF Triplet APO which is receiving bids on auction but the seller has nominated a buy now price of $15,500 USD (nearly double the new price)...these prices seem kind of ridiculous given there are alternatives (Tak, TEC) to direct one's $$$'s.
