RE: [APML] ST-4

Okay, Alan, I just gotta ask.  If the buyer wasn't going to use the ST-4 for
guiding or imaging, what on earth can it be used for? :-\ -Glenn

Hey Tony and Gene,

I researched prices last winter and spring before I
bought one. Most ST-4's fall in the $5-6oo range. Once
in awhile you see them at $450 or $650. Your price
would probably depend on how well it looks and how
reliable it is. I bought one for $550 and sold it a
few months later for $500. It did not have original
documentation and by the time I sold it, it was not
reliable. I didn't feel bad because the guy who bought
it (Richard Shell) was not going to use it for guiding
or imaging.
