Absolute bargain!
Less than a lightbridge, all premium bits and no waiting
What better scope could you buy for this money?
An 8" sct? Pffft!

I'd be VERY happy to buy this scope at that price, and I've got the funds sitting there, but I'm in Qld with no means of picking it up.
My girlfriend is actually IN Adelaide currently, but is flying home Tuesday next week, and I think this is a bit big for "hand luggage".
Any good suggestions?

Ummm... well there is a place called Pack and send, where you take them your fragile goods and they package them up for you and send them off, however it isnt cheap, I remember getting a 6" reflector this way and it cost $150 for them to package it, but they do a very thorough job with delicate items.

Clearly you dropped the price too fast then
. With the current cost of importing a precision 16" mirror from the USA well over $5000 , this was the equivelent of throwing an Obsession clone 'scope in for nothing. Someones 'Xmas' has come early !.
