Need Help?

1) Keep my LXD55 mount? 2) Price the OTA at?

My first post here, so please be gentle but honest! I've had my lxd55 6" SN for over a year now, and I'm really finding it impractical with my "student w/o a car" lifestyle. I'd like to step down to a small refractor, something along the lines of a stellarvue or orion's new 80mm APO, which can be packed and carried in a packpack, etc....

However, I'd like to keep the mount but haven't been able to find too much info into other's experiences with using this mount on other scopes and what's required to make it work or mount other scopes onto it.

Secondly, I'm also having trouble determining what price to set for the 6" SN OTA for the classifieds section. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It's had a bit of use, but it's clean, collimated and has the UHTC's. It would come without the finder scope or the original boxes, but with the OTA's packing foam and a large rubbermaid crate it's been living in. Again, if this isn't an appropriate question for this forum, I apologize.
