Meade 12" dent side view uploaded in Miscellaneous:www.cloudynights.com
Sorry, I'm going to write English since it's too late in the day for my brain to attempt German. I know the story of that scope, I visited it. It was a guy in Aarau selling it. His friend found it next to some trash/recycling drop off in the city and gave it to him! Who throws out a 12" LX200? He used it a few times but it was too big so he put it on ricardo, starting from 1 CHF. The optics seemed ok but it was missing controller, cables, all that stuff. Just the OTA, finder, mount. He would have sold it to me on the spot for 500 CHF but ricardo rules said the auction had to run to the end. I bid but was outbid and it ended up selling for 1475CHF on Jan 15th. Very disappointed although apparently it went to someone using it in a school setting for kids. The next day, Jan 16th, I was searching ebay-kleinanzeigen for Meade SCT's again and that ad popped up, showing the same pictures and the same the same description. I reported it immediately using the "Anzeige melden / Verdächtiger Inhalt" function. It was still there a day later and I reported it again. It took much longer than I expected, days if I remember correctly, for ebay-kleinanzeigen to take the ad down and send out the warning even though I sent them the link to the ricardo auction and explained the situation.
The scope however was real and really nice. The one that got away.
The cloudynights thread (and images there) was mine as I was asking for advice on if the dent might significantly impact the optical train.
