Skywatcher EQ3-2 with RA and Dec motors

I bought this EQ3-2 motorized mount (both R.A. and Dec motors) second hand back in April and have used it for a few sessions since. I've attached a 2 minute unguided single exposure I took with it, my ed80 and DSLR this week after drift aligning. I've added a polar scope to the mount as well and would be happy to include an almost new 6v battery and charger to run it all if collecting locally. I was lucky to find a good deal on an HEQ5 so sadly this mount has to move on. Looking for around $400 (ONO) and wish to sell locally in the Brisbane area, although shipping is possible at buyers expense.

Is it not showing in the first post? Here's a few more anyway :-) Mount is in great condition: very clean, minor marks on the counterweights and tripod, some leveling and altitude markings from the previous owner on the mount head, polar scope setting circle has been a little creased (these setting circles are quite flimsy). Tracks well with a small scope on top (ED80 is what I had on it) and everything functions well. Welcome any questions and happy to provide more pictures. The cheapest I could find this motor/mount/polar scope combo new is $599. Open to reasonable offers.
