Hi Chris

There's a 12" for sale in the telescopes section - but it's located in Melbourne. Shipping would probably more expensive than the vendors can do it for because of their bulk discounts + insurance.

G'Day Mike,
I have looked at purchasing a Dob from interstate before but the frieght charges are a killer. It would be cheaper to buy new from one of the local vendors.

Hi Chris
I don't have a 12" Dobsonian, but what i do have is a SkyWatcher SW880 10-inch Dobsonian Reflector, with the following extra's..Celestron NexImage USB Camera, MAS 3X Short Style Barlow Lens 1.25-inch, SkyWatcher 9x50 Right Angle Finderscope. It still is boxed up, and has only been together once, to see the actual physical size of the unit, and then reboxed, and nhas never been used!!!!. Im located, just south of Wollongong, at a place called Lake Illawarra, and frequently go up Liverpool way, to visit my partner, nearly every weekend, so if you are interested in this item, please contact me, and we can work out price delivery etc!!!!!....as for price, im looking round the $900 or best offer...., just thought i might drop ya a line, as it looks like your having a hassle in getting what you are looking for, but i may have the nex best thing, and am willing to deliver, if you do purchase these items...

chers
Shaun

Wanted - 12" Dobsonian Reflector

G'Day Shaun,
It sounds like a great scope and very tempting, however i have my heart set on the 12" Dobsonian Newtonian Reflector.

If one does not come up soon, l will just purchase one new.


Cheers
Chris

Have you tried Andrews Communication. They've got some good prices. (I'm not affiliated with them, I just can't find anyone cheaper. They include shipping at the moment as well. Not sure how long that will last for though.

Found - 12" Dobsonian Reflector

Thanks to bkm2304 i am the new proud owner of one 12" Bintel Dobsonian mounted newtonian reflector.
I picked it up today (just fit into the car), looking forward to observing with it tonight however it looks like the clouds have rolled in and i will have to wait.


Cheers
Chris
