garethmob Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 that seems fairly steep (a 12" flex dob went for 400 not long ago) but you dont see many klevtsov around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawhead Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 £400 for the OTA alone would be a great price.With the mount, absolute bargain!!! Interesting to see what it goes for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyH Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Super price for both a 200K and a Tal 2M mount with an adapter plate. I wonder if I know the seller, as the adapter plate sure looks familiar Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyH Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Just noticed in one of the pics, that this listing includes the 6" F8 refractor also !! Either I overlooked it when viewing it earlier, or the pic has been since added.Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweller25 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I don't see a refractor - just a white pier tube :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyH Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Just got a pm back from the seller of the above. He's a member here on SGL and I helped him out slightly, with both the 2M and Klev. I thought I recognised the aluminium top plate adapter, as I made him one whilst doing mine. Genuine nice bloke. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyH Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Still only an opening bid on this listing, with about 2.5 hours to go !Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceboy Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I noticed this scope the other day http://stargazerslounge.com/showthread.php?t=187211 I know I let my TAL200K go for pennies (£300) but £400 for a 200K with pier and Tal 2 reflector . There was a 200K OTA a little while back on ebay that sold for £580 if memory serves me correctly. They are a very nice scope but it may be that the 200K is a heavy weight in comparrison to alternative long focal length scopes that grasp the same amount of light. Maybe this is putting some people off ??? as I can't understand why there isn't more bids on this bargain bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyH Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 The 200K in the ebay ad was originally owned by SGL user, 'Eliot'. He then sold it to Greg, who is the bloke selling it on ebay. Shall be watching the outcome with interest, especially as the 200K/2M combo is what I use.Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceboy Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 £470 with extras ????? I just don't get it? £1k new yet they just don't seem to hold their value despite being a superb scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pel Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 If the item pictures are anything to go by, they weren't into AP :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawhead Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 If the item pictures are anything to go by, they weren't into AP :-)You've got a point. It was pretty poorly presented.That said, the 200K does seem to be one of the best value, 2nd hand scopes on the market.As far as planetary imaging goes, I honestly think it's a match for the C9.25 ...
