Re: Celestron Ultima 24mm
Some eyepieces go for crazy prices, originally a Zeiss Abbe II 34mm sold for $240.00(USD) now they typically sell around $2400.00(USD)
I have also seen two separate TMB Monocentrics listed for 850€ recently.

Re: Celestron Ultima 24mm
I can't remember precisely what is was, a collectors piece no doubt, sell on Astromart a few weeks back for $5K US. There was a huge discussion and speculation on the sidelines, but it sold rather quickly.Lady Fraktor wrote: ↑Sun Aug 22, 2021 8:26 pm It would not have lasted long at that price.

When you get into collecting (not using) prices can get astronomical really fast.SpyderwerX wrote: ↑Sun Aug 22, 2021 10:48 pmI can't remember precisely what is was, a collectors piece no doubt, sell on Astromart a few weeks back for $5K US.

Re: Celestron Ultima 24mm
A set of Carl Zeiss ZAO II in box perhaps? There have been 4 that I know of in the last 1.5 years that have sold in that range and up.SpyderwerX wrote: ↑Sun Aug 22, 2021 10:48 pmI can't remember precisely what is was, a collectors piece no doubt, sell on Astromart a few weeks back for $5K US.

Re: Celestron Ultima 24mm
But note that there were 2 people interested.
Value is quite subjective, as too, obviously, is the amount of disposable income available.
I've seen an old car that sold originally for $50K, get sold for $1.5 million.
I bought the most expensive 4" Unitron refractor for $899 in 1970 and I saw one of the identical scopes recently sell for over $5K.
It looks like collectors will pay many times the new price for just about everything.
Currently using a 12.5" dob and a 4" apo refractor

Re: Celestron Ultima 24mm
Eyepieces and telescopes well beyond their original price.
This telescope which is listed on the APM site has been for sale for over 6 years now: https://www.apm-telescopes.de/en/offers ... 10-mm.html
Very nice but I would not be paying that much for the pleasure of owning it.

Re: Celestron Ultima 24mm
I must be antique too... When I was in single digits ages that very model was my ideal of a telescope. It was pictured in one of my astro books.Lady Fraktor wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 5:26 pm Value of some astro products are quite subjective.

Not surprising. It could be a long wait until the same out of productionMistrBadgr wrote: ↑Wed Sep 01, 2021 12:07 am I just looked at Astromart for the Celestron Ultima 24mm that was listed for $150. It was gone. Listed for 2 days. I guess that says something about the value of a good specimen of that eyepiece.
I had similar issues when I was building my old TV Plossls smoothies set. Lower range 7.4 to 17mm would appear on the market quote often, but 21 to 40mm not so. I ended up buying the whole set and selling my partial collected piece by piece set.
