LX90 For Sale @ $600? (was $1)

Post by MCYM »

Here is a LX90 8” UHTC (Non LNT/GPS) standing at an attractively price. Up from $1 last few days.
http://auctions.yahoo.com/sg/auction/99627248

This auction bidding will end on next Tuesday 9pm. If there is any question, please don’t hesitate to ask, I will try my best to answer them. Better yet call me if you need a faster response. Avoid sms/pm, as I tend to be slow and clumsy with these technologies.

I can include an all expense paid 1D1N darkskies trip to Mersing for the winning bidder if price ends above 2.0k. Above 2.3k, you will get your very own deep space image/s with practical DSO/planetary imaging lesson. The potential owner would not just have a great visual scope, instead I will offer a total deep space imaging solution package (CCD/DSLR/webcam on loan). This offer is open to singastro members only.

Viewing can be arranged on this Sunday afternoon. Call for appointment.

Have fun

Matthew

Yeah... the current high bidder is quite aggressive! I tried to get in but looks like it's beyond my budget.. :(

I notice his bids were automatically increased when a new bidder comes in. I wonder what's his maximum bid was? Hmm...

Same name, different person... I admit I was eyeing it, but it has gone over my budget now... :(

Good luck to whoever gets it!

There may be more than one way to look at it but I won’t attempt any speculation here. hmmm…
In any case, winner identity will remain confidential, unless indicated otherwise.

Btw, it is approaching the psycological reserved that I have in mind and won’t be surprise if most of the bidding takes place in the final minutes.

Most important of all; Have fun bidding, may the highest bidder have one of the best priced LX90 in town. This instrument has taught me much about astronomy & AP. I sincerely hope it will continue to do so for others in a long time to come.

Cheers

Matthew

This is getting exciting! I never knew you can bid with increments of 10 cents! The latest bidder's feedbacks seem a bit unusual...
