    At the store we've come across a used 8'' TEC Maksutov, f/20, serial number 0102.  It is definitely in used condition, but it is still really something.  

    I know the club had a 7'' TEC Mak until a couple of years ago when someone dropped it and shattered the meniscus?  Something like that.  

    I was wondering if anyone knew what the price of this is/should be.  Yes, we've reached out to TEC here in Golden, email and voice mail, but we think that the owner might be Ukrainian, so he's understandably a little bit busy and/or distracted right now.  

    Any ideas for pricing this, or where we could find out about pricing for this?  It's incredibly rare, and I know it's in the many thousands, possibly even into five figures. But we just don't know and can't find anything about this.  Any help would be appreciated. 


    This is from an Astromart ad circa 2002 I believe:
