180 Mak - price ?

[NGC 1502]

 

Hi all. A non astronomy friend who’s selling kit once owned by a late relative has a Skywatcher 180 Maksutov tube assembly to sell.

I’ve been asked how much to ask.   It’s not in top condition, so I do realise it’s difficult to say, but I’d be grateful for a ball park figure please.

Thanks in advance, Ed.

Is it one of the old gold tube ones or the newer black tube? The gold ones don’t seem to bring as much as the newer ones.

Sorry I forgot the colour has changed.

The one for sale is gold colour, thanks for any info, cheers, Ed.

I’ve seen the gold tube version go for about £400.00 or just over without acessories. The black version seems to fetch £500.00 to £600.
