Scopes that lose least value

In the realm of pre-owned Orion Optics scopes 65% of the retail price is not a good deal for an OO newtonian if you keep track of the used astro equipment market. The newtonians just don't hold their value so you are throwing money away by paying over the odds for one because you just won't get it back if you sell on.

If a scope is perceived as being overpriced new, the standard used 2/3 pricing of new pricing ain’t going to get many takers.
