Trade scope for car?

Post by VinSnr »

Read this from Astromart :

"ultima 2000 in excellent conditon. everything works good. hardly used. has the heavy duty eq mount. hard case. sent to celestron and had it checked out and cleaned about a year ago. 1200.00. or trade for a car. louisville ky area. thanks. "

$1200 and can trade for a car. In Singapore, you can't even buy the car door with that money.

... five years ago I gave my car to my neighbour, an Audi Coupe GT, 20 years old, in running condition ... best offer I had was from a scrap yard at 10 Euros a ton ... I prefered to make the neighbour happy.

I heard that since then, he gave it to someone else .


That was in France: in Singapore I could probably have sold it to a collector, bought a RC 12.5 " and have change for a Titan mount.

Cheers
