Siegfried asked me to get the word out about this. patrick From: Rex Biggers Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 10:00 AM To: ziggy943@xmission.com Subject: Rex Biggers (nephew of the Daniels) Orion XT12 Intelliscope Siegfried, Considering the upgrades on the telescope, I would be willing to let it go for $765. That would be a 15% reduction or $135 off in value from the current stock model price (minus flocking, baffling and the telrad) which is also included in the offer. (It would be about 30% less than what I paid). The price for the XT12 dropped when Orion recently came out with their new XX12. I paid around $1,100+ last Christmas even though it is now listed at $899 new. As I mentioned, the flocking, baffling and Telrad were all affixed with velcro and can each be easily removed if desired. I will also throw in a laser collimator. Since the time the telescope was purchased last Christmas it has only been used approximately three or four times. I've added a link to a website with more information. I also have a few eyepieces left that I would be willing to sell at reasonable prices. I've already sold the better eyepieces (televue nagler type 6). http://www.telescope.com/control/product/~category_id=dobsonians/ ~pcategory=telescopes/~product_id=09709?id=cadf Thanks, Rex biggrex@gmail.com
