Skywatcher Evostar 150ED refractor PRICE DROP!

I am selling an immaculate Skywatcher 150ED refractor. Comes with tube rings, dovetail and original aluminum case and box. Included also are Skywatcher 2" dielectric diagonal and SW 5mm UWA eyepiece.This is an excellent refractor. New it would cost $3000.00.
Some have compared it to the TEC140.
The high-end Evostar-150ED Apo doublet features an undisclosed combination of one Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass element and a matched crown element.
Each air-to-glass objective lens surface has exotic anti-reflection metallic coatings applied, to ensure optimum light throughput of approaching 99.5%.
The proprietary Sky-Watcher “Metallic High-Transmission Coatings” (MHC) are the finest photon anti-rejection coatings in their class.
Asking price: $1750.00 net to me. Prefer local pick up, due to the size and weight. I can drive within an hour distance of Bluffton/Hilton Head SC to meet for in person transaction. I can ship it in the original box, but shipping and insurance would buyer's responsibility-here's an estimate of the shipping details; I use Pirate Ship, so that would cut the shipping costs signifficantly.
Weight: 61 lbs [this includes the aluminum case and packing material]
Length: 57.5 inches
Height: 13 inches
Width: 17 inches
