Potentially selling my EQ6 …

(MODS) if not in correct section please move… My apologies 👍🏼
 

Hey guys,

Potentially selling my EQ6 pro synscan.

It’s been Darkframe tuned (just received back) Its had all new bearings and grease, rail kit, Rowan belt mod and has a 2 year back to base warranty from darkframe.

ive owned the mount for 7 years, never been outside for prolonged periods , handled like a new born!ha tripod and weights in good condition too.

I don’t have an ‘official power supply’ always used my bench top variable supply

…..

reason I’m thinking of selling is just because Ive took a real shine to wide field with my dslr over the months I didn’t have it while it was being serviced/tuned ( took way longer than I thought ..covid I guess!?) 

I’d like to delve in to that area for a bit and possibly upgrade my 6d lenses or maybe even swap to Sony ( blame Alyn Wallace!lol) 

I’m waffling sorry… 

What do you guys think it’s worth? Not sure what to ask for. 

Pictures below are from David at darkframe that he sent me but I’ll take some more photos.

cheers. Ant

I’d say maybe 650- 700 tops I may be wrong depends what the buying market want to pay  ,the cost of having it tuned and belt modded won’t be recovered in the resell cost more of a thing to do to a mount if your intending to keep long term .

I think the Mods might move this thread as it is not actually a For Sale item (yet).

If you want to maximise the resale value from your tune up you could include some evidence of the mount’s current guiding performance, this would then allow you to ask for a higher price over other used standard mounts.

I’ve popped this in to Discussions - Mounts for now while you establish a price @AntHart. You can re post in For Sale once you have decided.

Seen similar go for about this I would says its about right. Also I would be interested in taking it off your hands, have sent you a PM

I think there's a good chance it being fiddled with by dark frame could decrease the value imho.

As has been said, pics and a Phd2 log when guiding would probably help sell a lot. Should sell quick then?
