When an amateur astronomer is ready to buy a bigger telescope or make the move to a telescope better suited for astrophotography, they will often trade in their old scope to help pay for the new one. High Point checks each trade-in telescope over thoroughly and then offers it for sale on our website at a substantial discount, complete with a warranty.
Telescope trade-ins are not the only way we acquire astronomy equipment that is not considered new. We also occasionally buy telescopes that have been refurbished at the factory, and we buy used telescopes direct from the end user for cash as well! If you have working telescope equipment you would like to sell, just fill out our request a quote for your used telescope or telescope equipment...it's easy and free!
