If you want to get the most out of your equipment, I'd strongly consider
Ebay instead of Astromart (although the latter is free). Ebay generally
will bring higher values whereas on Astromart you'll get a lot of folks who
say they're interested and you never hear from them again. Not knocking
them (Astromart) as it's a great resource, but that's the way most people
seem to operate there.
