I have this brand new William Optics Star 71 II f/4.9 4-Element Refractor from 2016 that I only opened the box to take pictures so it's never used.   Please see pics.  Retail price is $1,148.  What you see in the pics is what you get.

 

 

Description from the manufacturer website.

The Original Star 71 featured a five-element design that included one FPL-53 ED glass lens. This new Star-71 II has a simplified four-element design that includes two FPL-53 ED glass lenses.  Two ED Glass elements provide a high level of colour correction and the 4-element design is easier to collimate during manufacture, it should also hold it’s collimation better than the previous model. 

With it's fast f4.9 focal-ratio and fully corrected 30mm (APS-C) imaging circle the Star-71 II is an excellent choice for astrophotography (it does not require a separate reducer/flattener). 

The 2.5" Dual Speed Rack and Pinion Focuser's drawtube terminates in a male M48x0.75 thread and a wide M48 female threaded Canon EOS adapter ring is included. (Similar rings are available for other camera brands).
