My family has a Questar Standard 3.5 being serviced by Questar as I write this post. Serial #1-1057. Questar told me I could sell it for $2,500-$3,000, then we discussed the fact that it was returned to Questar and modified to prevent vignetting when taking photos with a 35 mm camera. I was told it costs $1,900 to have that modification done today. I was told that all the items that would be expected by a buyer are present and accounted for, and he referred me to AstroMart for selling this scope. We will be further discussing its final value after servicing is complete. As I view prior sales, I don't see old 3.5's (without the stated modification) going for $2,500-$3,000 as indicated by Questar. Was I misinformed by Questar? Or is this a collectible item that has greater value than some of the other old 3.5's? Any information that would help me through this process would be greatly appreciated!
