Time to sell my BH-2 with UCD and DIC BH2-NA Nomarski

[thomas.schwarz]

Hi friends,

Its time for me to sell my Olympus BH-2 Microscope with
BH2-UCD universal condenser for Nomarski DIC with
* UBF - bright field
* UDA - dark field
* UNPD20 Nomarski Prism for DPlan Apo 20x objective
* UNPD40 Nomarski Prism for DPlan Apo 40x dry
* UNP100Oil Nomarski Prism for Splan Apo 100x oil

DIC BH2-NA Nomarski Intermediate Tube with Adjustable Nomarski Analyzer Prism

Mounted Lumix GH4 Camera

Plus Monitor

Objectives for prisms above, original condenser, and a power adapter to use this microscope in Europe.

All in top condition. Great for photos and recording videos.

Can any one tell me a good price to ask? I am not trying to get top dollar, just a fair price. Also, any tips on packaging or should I just require pick up of the microscope here in Klagenfurt Austria?

Once I figure out a price, I will take pictures and inlcude a microbe video taken with the microscope/camera. Anything else I should include?

Thanks!
Tom

Although true micrograph enthusiasts cannot accept selling it separately, it is a rational approach and the final price is often higher. A good DIC kit, priced at 2K USD, is very competitive.

[thomas.schwarz]

Thanks, that is interesting.... ...I will reduce the price again soon, and as it gets closer to 2K, I will consider separating the parts..... I am just not a salesman, so I prefer less transactions/ shipping/ complexity on my end.

[thomas.schwarz]

Price reduced to $3000 or best offer. If interested, please send email to thomas.l.schwarz@gmail.com

Tom, you may want to let potential buyers know your location.

[thomas.schwarz]

Right, I am located in Klagenfurt Austria. So pick up would be great. But shipping is also no problem, no idea how much it would cost, but maybe 1 or 2 hundres dollars.... Just a guess....

[Dustf0rlunch]

Just out of interest, I'm assuming we are talking US dollars here? God I wish I was cashed up right now I'd love to buy it.

[thomas.schwarz]

))) "cashed up", that's a good one ))). Yes there are times that we are cashed-up and times that we are cashed-down, and let's not forget cashed-out.

Good question, I did put a "$" sign there, but if someone did not notice it and agreed to pay 3000 EUR, that would be great. But I would agree to either 3000 dollars or 3000 EUR.
