As I am new here and to astronomy. I see larger obsession and teeters for sale here and astromart but have as yet to see any mid sized units in the 15 to 18 in range. Are they just so popular that folks never part with them? Or???

Probably has a lot to do with the fact that those size dobs are not abundantly made by the chinese mfg's but by the quality built companies. Hence they are in high demand and are usually kept by the original owners or the second buyers. If you can find one you probably want to jump on it wink

For a new dob, I advise a vendor that tests the completed scope under the stars before delivery.
Good Luck
