I'm planning a move to Tassie so sadly need to get rid of some much loved telescopes.
They haven't been used in a while due to current location (suburban Sydney) and a lack of transport to take them to where you can see stars. Condition is excellent
I initially want to sell these as complete packages so please, don't make offers on bits and pieces. I'll re-list later if there are no takers of the complete package
I'll probably regret the sale once I'm in a location where I can use them :-)
Due to lack of transport and packaging, pick up preferred. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause
