MWTS: Skywatcher MCT127

Post by **zong** » Sat Jan 28, 2006 1:13 am

Seems like many people are looking to sell this scope!! I'm thinking of selling this scope to upgrade to Vinsnr's Nexstar5i with GOTO. But unless this one can sell for a price high enough to partly pay for the next scope, I'll have to keep this one.. at least until i ORD.

Things in this package:
1) Skywatcher MCT127mm OTA
2) Red-dot finder (came with what i bought)
3) Skywatcher 9x50 finder (inverted view)
4) 10mm and 25mm modified achromat eyepieces (came with what i bought)
5) Diagonal (came with what i bought)
6) Box to keep the scope and accessories

7) Manfrotto 055ProB Tripod!
8) Manfrotto 410 head
9) Manfrotto Tripod bag

Everything in here cost me about 900 over. Hoping to sell at this price or better to fund my next scope. I think i can take away 100bucks if you don't need the 9x50 finder (which i don't think you really do unless you go overseas, i survived on the red dot alone for at least 1 year)

Note for beginners: This is a complete set that will allow you at least a few years of fun without a need to buy additional stuff, if you like. Maybe better eyepieces are all you'd need..

You wanted to sell your scope for the price you had bought? What is stopping the potential buyer to buy a brand new set? To make it more confusing ..... what is stopping the potential buyer from buying a Nexstar 5i with Goto mount ....

I think Zong can sell his scope at whatever price he wants, it's up to the prospective buyer to do the research and decide for himself. Btw, a brand new SK MCT127 package is $900 (McGill), but it doesn't include item 7, 8, and 9

actually with 7, 8, 9 inside, this is a pretty good deal.

ok....just to help a bit, here are the new prices for the following items:

1) Skywatcher MCT127mm OTA - $900
3) Skywatcher 9x50 finder (inverted view) - $120
7) Manfrotto 055ProB Tripod! - $190
8) Manfrotto 410 head - $210
9) Manfrotto Tripod bag - $30-40

so the deal is pretty ok....
again, if you have any adverse comments or advice, please PM the seller.
thanks

Thanks Airconvent for helping me! No offence taken for any comments though, i welcome all comments.

Thanks blurblock for your comments. Yes I'm selling them at roughly the price i bought, because i think i bought the items at very good deals and i wanna another beginner to have the same good price i enjoyed, but yet not compromising my option to fund my buying a next scope. In fact i think the price i quoted is cheaper by around 50 bucks from what i bought, not really cost price.. It's a MWTS anyway, so if nobody thinks this is a good deal, I'd still keep the scope as i have said in the first post..

So, any takers?
