mmm...the problem with your sale is you overpaid for your scope when you bought it. a typical set up like this brand new would have cost much less than $1200. if you based your second hand price on $1200, it will not be very attractive to buyers here who tend to be more informed buyers.
I suggest you check out how much our local vendors here are charging and take it from there.
good luck

I believe the celestron 80mm is generally an OEM Synta/Guansheng scope, the same as the Skywatcher 80. You can also consider how much it would cost to buy the scope from overseas and ship it back here. That helps.
