How much for a Coronado Max Scope?

Anyone with a good price estimate? I ask simply because I saw one advertised in the buy and sell, in Cork, seller asking for €7,000!!!

:shock:

Depends on what size ir is. The largest one is a 90mm and it costs about $10k. The smallest one is the maxscope 40mm which retails at around $1,700, although depends on what bandpass and filter type you want.

Seanie, it must be the 90mm scope for that kinda price, that not bad, if you can afford it!

I spotted it on buy&sell online earlier in the week. Here it is;

Coronado Max Scope.With stacked 60mm 0.5A filter stack, sun finder, mounting rings, hard travel case, visual, film, C.C.D use, as new, €7,000

That costs well over $5k new in the US. In the UK, it seems to cost well over Stg£6k. Overall, it's not a bad price to ask, considering the UK price.

I'd love to see if that person is someone who won it as a prize! Then slap them for ripping it off!

:evil:

Otherwise, why sell such a thing? I know you can count the sunny days on almost 1 hand in Ireland, but still - if I spent all that money on a Coronado, I sure as hell would not sell it! And if I won one, I don't think I'd sell it for that much...

Still, hope it gets a good home.

Seanie.
