Wishful thinking on the price I reckon.
With a quick search of previous auctions on Astromart, you can see that there have been three previous occasions when people have listed AP 206mm refractors.
The first listing was in 2005, it was serial #206EDF04, an F7.75 scope made in 1993 that was passed in at auction after getting a maximum bid of $37,676
Second listing is the same scope a couple of months later and it passed in at auction with a maximum bid of $23,600
Third listing was earlier this year with a 1995 manufactured scope serial #206EDF17, it passed in at auction as well at $36,101.
Also, going by the serial number, it appears as though AP made at least 17 of these 206mm F7.75 beasts

Reason: couldn't find reference for 'refurbishing'
