The only problem I see is the distance to travel to collect it?
The user has modded the scope slightly, but the original scope is there.

With the RACI, Rigel, Bob's Knobs? ( I would not be able to reach these, their not essential, but practical, making collimation a tool-less task  if you can reach them ? ) A cooling fan, the butt stand and of course a seat, (my preferred option) I think its a fair price for this Skyliner.

 

That said, for £59 more, you could get one from the Sussex Astronomy Centre,  Goring by Sea,  and mod your own scope, plus you'd have a warranty?

I reckon the whole lot stands a good chance of taking off given the size of that fan!!

More seriously, looks like a decent scope with some good mods. The EQ platform will be great for tracking at high power, saving you the need to nudge the scope.
