I would suggest listing it on
cloudy nights as well...? I tend to sell things much faster
there, many more people are on that site.
Figure out how far you are
willing to drive to meet someone and list that in the ad -
unless you are confident about shipping this beast.? Then get
payment before taking off (at least to cover your gas and time
in case they decide they don't like it when they see it.)

Looks like another year I won't be using my Obsession 18 Classic -
original owner #1930 Jul 2011 museum condition.
I will put it on Astromart this week - but I've only sold a couple
things there so I have no rating.
Any tips appreciated. Cincinnati. Totals up to about $14K total
new.

OMI 18-394-031611 F = 82 1/8"

I am not selling dew heater controller, eyepieces, laser
collimater, Mallincam ... still hoping I can get back into the
hobby one day. Although the Mallincam Xtreme may be next to go.
Thanks for advice. No criticism please.
