Too good to be true?

Only dismaying thing is not a single image or comment about the optics or mechanicals.

Still, might be worth the risk for someone to take a look-see over it.

The photo only shows only one counterweight - if it was used like that, the EQ6 would be in as bad a condition internally as it is externally (zoom in on the photos - it's pretty crappy).

I'd suggest giving it a miss.

There is talk of this scope and an Astro Physics 130mm APO on ebay on other astro sites like Star Gazers Lounge , lt's a scam Lewis .

Maybe Brian,but considering he says pick up only, I fail o see how, UNLESS he demands payment PRIOR to pickup, which is an alarm ringer.

I am not interested anyway. Agree with Astrobot too - the mount looks fairly shagged, obviously living outside.
