Anyone know current value?

Hi Guys,
Heads-up: Newbie on board! I have a Bushnell 78-5500 Banner Astro 280 complete with Tripod and other accessories. Everything is in good to very good cosmetic condition and fully functional (checked out by a friend).

Does anyone have a ballpark idea as to what this telescope is worth? Someone is interested in buying it from me but I'm not sure where to start the haggling. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I can provide photos if that would help.

Thanks,

Alex ( [email protected] )

Hi. I inherited a Bushnell Sky Chief 1 (78-5500 Banner Astro 280).

you have 2 choices re tripods.
1. a normal pan and tilt photographic tripod, cheap and easy to use.
2. a Equatorial tripod, much more expensive and more difficult to use but can be setup to track the movement of the earths spin.
I use a photo tripod as its easy to use and quick setup.

How much is the Bushnell Banner Astro 280 worth?

I would not buy a Bushnell or Tasco brand telescope regardless of the price. You can do much better than these "toy" telescopes.

I need an instruction manual for a Bushnell Banner Astro 280 D=60 mm F=700mm model 78-5500 Made in aoc. It is an old telescope and was sold without an instruction manual. I looked on the Bushnell site for...

You will not find that manual. They all assemble and are used in the same way. Find a manual that is similar to your scope and use it.

Are parts still available for Bushnell Banner Astro 280 model #78-5500?

Those small telescopes do not have a parts source. Try your local well stocked hardware store.
