The US second hand Astronomy Gear Market never really fails to surprise me in particular when Astro-Physics scope come up for sale. Astromart is selling off gear from what I believe might be a deceased estate and one scope in the inventory currently up for auction is a Astro-Physics 180 f/7 refractor .. current top bid of$24K USD with still over 1 week to go. Now when compared to the TEC line of APO refractors this has surpassed the price of a TEC APO180FL F/7 @ $19K and heading towards the price of a TEC APO200FL F/8 @ $29.6K. Could the price reach what a TEC APO250VT F/8.8 is .. will report back in a week.
