The pics show lots of dust and the accessories are low-end.  I'd be hesitant/reluctant at that price and that distance.

So would I. That scope’s been rode hard and put away wet. Perhaps it would be worth a look at half the price as a fun fix-up project assuming the mirrors aren’t damaged.

 

A new scope, in perfect condition, with warranty, with no surprises, is $1200 and it will come to you.

Thanks all! Yeah, I don't know what I am thinking. The shipping cost can be $400 easily and the scope is new. So, I ordered one brand new scope from highpointscientific.
