Meade ETX90EC Dilemma

kingfisher · Post by **kingfisher** » Fri May 28, 2004 9:50 am

Ok, I found this guy selling an etx90. He had a huge price tag on it however it turns out that he's selling two scopes, both only 3 months old. He is in Medan and needs to return to the UK, hence the sale. The only thing is though he's selling both together.

Therefore, is there anyone interested in buying one etx90 with me, the price he 's looking at S$850

There's lots of internet fraud in Indonesia, so unless you really know this guy, I wldn't advice purchasing from him... Why not purchase a new unit from HK?

Yeah! Your probably right, as his email sent to me wasn't very good english for an english person.

I think I shall wait until the end of june and buy the etx125 from Anthony in HK, just a bit eager though. 'You know'

Hi Weixing,
I seen his scope a while ago, and I think it is slightly pricy. Plus, it's got no tripod with it.

Cheers for the thought!

Hi,
If you don't need a GOTO, my SkyWatcher 127 OTA is also on sale... Ha Ha Ha... must do some advertising...

Have a nice day.

Bro... back to square one, as you too are selling only the OTA!!!!

Hi,
Yes, I'm only selling the OTA, but there are at least two person(David Lian and gwenyi) selling the EQ3-2 mount that come with the Sky-Watcher 127, because they prefer using a camera tripod. If you are interested in getting my Sky-Watcher 127, I can help you get the EQ3-2 mount... but no motor no GOTO...

Have a nice day.

Weixing,
Let me contemplate that idea...! What do think the cost would be for the complete set? BEARING in mind I'm a haggler.....

Hi Mike,
As explained, my scope came with a custom made adapter plate that connects to any Manfrotto mount and the 190 I recommended is about S$110 at Cathay photo but of course, until I get my upgrade, there's really no motivation to push for the sale or else I would be left without a primary scope!

BTW, the ETX125 should be a good buy...1 inch of extra aperture...
