Selling a scope is hard!
All,
I am finding selling an old scope to be a hard thing...maybe I should be on the TV show "hoarders".
Last night I agreed to sell my first telescope (a Bintel 8 inch Dob) to an interested young lady near my house.
She attended a viewing night and was really excited to get a scope (she had been doing the binocular thing for a while)...
After stewing on it for a week I decided to sell her my old gear at a good price. The 8 inch scope has not been out for a long time and it deserves better.
She is over the moon and will use it a lot so it is all good.
I've still got plenty of viewing firepower but it is sentimentally hard letting the "trusty" 8 inch go. I know I am being silly but still I've got a lot of memories wrapped up in that old scope.
Is this just me or do other folks have trouble letting go of their unused gear?
