That's a good price even at the "buy it now" price.
A new IIIB deluxe model goes for around $500.00. The extra horizon mirror
around $70.00. The tube around $15.00. The bubble attachment around $125.00.
Around $720.00 for everything if you bought it new.
Nice deal.

beam converger

Hi George:

Thanks for the offer of assistance.

There's a nice-looking Astra IIIB Deluxe up for auction on E-Bay
(http://tinyurl.com/ekpzd) that looks like a pretty good deal (includes
bubble horizon, both full-field and split-horizon mirrors, etc.), but
it's run for several days and absolutely *nobody* has bid on it yet. I
was wondering if anyone on the Nav-L list had any experience with this
guy, or maybe this was an Astra model to avoid?

I'm looking to upgrade from the plastic Davis sextant to something more
professional (probably an Astra, since I don't do CelNav for a living),
and since they're in such high demand I was just curious why nobody had
bid on this particular one yet. Feel free to bid on it yourself if
you'd like to, if it's a good deal for you then that's a fair trade-off
for your offer of off-list help.  :-)

GregR
