This is a legitimate sale, and I need to sell. Happy to post other, specific photos if people would like. Happy for people to have a look before buying. Please make a reasonable offer if you're interested.

Showing a picture of the front surface & miror wouldn't hurt

As requested. Apologies for the reflection of me/my curtains...

Does anyone have any interest in this? I'm open to offers.

If there is no interest, can anyone on the forum suggest a better/another method I could use to sell? Am reluctant to use ebay at this stage.

Thanks.

It's normally considered a bit rude to start a big discussion in the middle of a for sale post, but since you ask... These are a pretty good little scope, but they can also be bought new for $1200 here in OZ and much less overseas (~$800). Second hand astro gear in MINT condition normally sells for about 70% of new. Ice in Space is probably the best place to sell your scope here in Australia - If you want to sell quickly, drop your price alot. If you want to sell but have some time, drop your price a bit and wait.

Thanks for the advice jamespierce - will see how I go. Cheers.

I'd be willing to accept $900 if anyone's interested.

Let me know if you'd like further information.

I'm prepared to offer $700 for this telescope.

If accepted, I will arrange transport to Tasmania.

Am interested in the scope

Does this PE model include UHTC coatings?

excuse the ignorance, but I assume this model has auto tracking.

Regards,

David

Things tend to sell for more on ebay as there is more exposure, people are more impulsive and less informed (as opposed to IIS).
