I'ts spring cleaning time around my house at the moment and I'm not using either of these scopes at the moment, so I guess it's time for them to move on.
The Skywatcher's specs are as follows: PROED100 ED OTA Apochromaticrefractor 100mm x 900mm OTA is gold in colour and features a 2" Crayford style focuser with a 2" to 1.25" reducer fitted. Has FPL-53 fluorite ED lens.
It is supplied with a matching gold coloured 9 x 50 finderscope in a white holder, white tube rings, 200m long black aluminium dovetail bar, 2" diagonal and aluminium carry case! Its focal length is f/9 (which is not helping the imaging learning curve). It was bought from Andrews Communications about 3-4 months ago. It's in perfect working order except for a small scratch under one of the tube rings. I'm asking $450 for it.
The Bintel Dob is one of the premium ones that they don't seem to have listed anymore on their website. It comes with a fan and a 10-1 crayford focuser. I'm not sure but I think it's the same as the GSO branded scope.
Focal length is f/5. The mirror is a bit dusty as I haven't used it for a few months (since I got my CPC 11" in fact). I'm asking $250 for it. Would MUCH rather local pick up in Canberra as it is a bit hefty, but would be willing to work something out.

mr.Gareth if you are off the booze,how about putting some of us out of our misery and reply to those who have answered your ad,otherwise please desist from having another beer until you sober up !
They went as a package deal. Agreed to sell that day but we're getting a new kitchen/living room and laundry put in and I wasn't aware that the internet would be out for such a long time. Idiotic I know, sorry for the confusion, I was going to get the net working again but there were some lovely complications with the kitchen parts...
