Trade, EQ6 and 12" for EQ3 and Cash

Hi Folks,

I have been thinking how much I have been wasting my scope, time and life is getting in the way. I'm too lazy to set it up and i don't want to risk 3k worth of gear permanently setup out in the back yard when im hardly home.

What I would like to do is trade my hardly used goto NEQ6 PRO and a 12" Newt for a goto EQ3 and cash.
Brand new this kit is $3000
Brand new the EQ3 is $900

Id like a total of around $2500ish.... a good second hand EQ3 goto and $1500 would cover it.

Unfortunately I don't own a large car so I can only transport the EQ6 but not the scope pickup is Brisbane and Hatton Vale, the scope comes with all the usual accessories as well as a diy set of rotating rings and I can throw in my battery box and charger. The batteries are 3x 7ah batteries and have been looked after.
The kit is around 18 months old.

If you are interested in this PM me so we can negotiate.

I will separate if you want, we can negotiate the price especially if you are in the tube as ultimately id like to keep the EQ6 but relocate it to mums and use the EQ3 here in Brisbane.
I can transport my 6" easily or purchase a little ED

A lot of people have looked but no one has said anything.

I'm happy to negotiate the price.
Maybe you already have an EQ6 but have been thinking of upgrading your tube, they are $1300 new, have mine for a new EQ3 or $1000

Just to clairfy the split

I'm happy to sell the scope separate to the mount but wont sell the mount unless I can sell the scope.

I can still use the mount without the scope where as I cant use the scope without the mount.
