The 12" Dob is a great scope. Have you used either scope?

well the 114mm was actually a birthday present from my parents, and they bought it on ebay for around $400 (im not supposed to know that). i would love to get rid of it because i need as much money as possible to get my first car, but i dont want to be conning someone into buying something crappy.
as for the use of the scopes, i only used the 114mm about a dozen times before i got the 12" dob. ive had the dob for about 2 and a half months, but havent used it all that much because of work. however, the dob has a light scratch about 10cm long just below the dovetail attachment for the finderscope, because i forgot to grab the finder when i unscrewed the bracket, and the end of the bracket scratched the tube (luckily i safely caught the finder!). apart from that scratch, its in immaculate condition, including it being properly collimated, etc.
