I am giving this a day to see what interest there is for my William Optics 110FLT triplet. I haven't had it long, but have been offered a bigger refractor, and the urge is strong. I could easily live with the 110 though as it is a wonderful scope.
Comes as supplied with the metal storage/transport case, finder, and huge 4" rotating focuser. Tube rings as well obviously. The only things missing are the dust caps for the finder, and the 2" to 1.25" adaptor. There is a W/O 2" diagonal as well, so a complete "put it on your mount and observe/image" unit. I am the second owner and while it has been well cared for it does show minor, very minor signs of normal use.
I have looked through it only briefly, and the stars were pinpoint as one would expect, and have only just started imaging with it. Such has been the weather of late.
Talk to me via PM please. I'll upload a picture or two later.

Quite a few have asked about the reducer and imaging side of this scope, and to this end I have uploaded a few trial shots, of Omega Cent. The first is with an AP67CCD Telecompressor, which widens the field somewhat, and gives decent results, a cost effective reducer. The other two are prime focus, and with an MPCC, both are acceptable, but the MPCC cleans up the corners better. All are 120 second guided shots, with a QHY8. IIRC the latter two shots have been flat fielded, but the reduced shot has not, hence the vignetting and bit of dust in the image.
