I do not have a problem. I represent a church and the telescope has been given as a donation. We aer trying to find a value to sell it at a silent auction to raise money for our very tiny but active church. Can you help me determine a rough estimate of its value? It is a Bushnell 565 x 60 Refractor Telescope Model 78-9565 Thanks for your help. My email address is: [email protected].

As a Church in this case your asking price should be more along the lines of a donation, with the Telescope as a prise for the largest donation for the day or have a drawing for it. But current valve is in the $40.00 to &160.00 area (used) if new around $200.00 -- $220.00. That all depends on how bad someone wants it.

Hello,

Let me try to help you with your question.

Allot of people use ebays seller estimator when trying to present a value on a piece like this.

If the item is in good condition with not problems I have seen them on line for $150 roughly.

Silent actions you might get that amount or a little less in my opinion.

If the item is nearly new what they call mint condition the most you will get that I have seen is $175.

Here is some tips for you.

1. Check auction site like ebay or Yahoo!.
2. Study the description and try to compare it to your donated unit.
3. Set the bid about half the going price so you get most out of the donated item.
