Around $250 each for the XL's assuming good condition with clear glass.

Harder to say for the Meade - a bit less perhaps.

Try $280 for the Pentax and $220 for the Meade. Drop $10- on a regular basis and you may not get what you expect. Good luck. I had the XL5.2 and it was nice to use on the planets and Moon.

I think those price estimates you've been given are very optimistic !

You can buy a brand new Pentax XW landed in Australia for ~ $350

Not that they aren't good eyepieces, it's about what other options people have.

I think $200 is a more realistic expectation. I saw your adverts in the classifieds. You might get some nibbles at those prices and I hope you do, but I think your expectations need to be realistic.

Cheers
