This could be a good deal for someone in Melbourne. There is a GS 12" Dob on ebay for a $700 starting bid ($800 buy now). It's only a standard so R&P focuser and no fan, but these could be easy upgrades for little over $100. Still a bargain if the scope's close to new like the ad says.

Sorry don't have a link. My dog ate it. Maybe someone else can post one. (I can't reach ebay from this PC for some reason.)

Wow, great buy. Wouldn't mind it myself at that price.

Well, someone got a big scope for $771.

I wonder how long before we have a new thread about getting more magnification on Saturn.
