Being mindful of "10 Sure Ways How NOT to Sell me an item on IIS" and particularly "EOI", I am hoping IIS members may help value my 2001 FS-128 f/8.1 OTA, preferably within a range of $500 or so of what is considered a reasonable price with a view to selling it in the near future. I have a TOA-130 and too many other telescopes and this one doesn't get used often.

It has been said that the FS-128 would be/will be/is quite collectable owing to the fact that it has the fluorite doublet objective, who knows? Optical performance wise, it is up there with the TOA-130 but you would need pretty super eyesight to tell the difference. The TOA-130 would certainly be more suitable for astrophotography though as there are a greater range of present day accessories. The FS-128 OTA is noticeably lighter however it is a good deal longer.

I have attached some pics of the FS-128 OTA, they should indicate that it is near new cosmetic condition with only very minor signs of use. The objective performs and looks like new.
