Need a good 2nd hand barlow to build up my eyepiece set. In the class of Celestron Ultima or TV 2.5.

You can't beat the Ultima. Don't settle anything cheaper than the Ultima. It's the best for the price.
Go find one in Astromart. You buy here, people will cut your throat. You buy in astro scientific they will cut up your body.

If I can't get a Ultima here, and if it's too tough to get it off astromart (Most don't ship here), I might settle for the Antares Triplet 2x barlow. Heard that it's identical to the Celestron version. With my short scope, need minimal CA if I want to reach the higher limits of mag.

yeah, the short Antares Ultima 2X is as good as the celestron one.
Get from Samuel. Don't think he will cut your throat la.
