Check www.bibliocity.com periodically for opportunities. Also, check www.ebay.com - there are usually 15-20 sextant offerings. Closing prices, notably on Astras are not always bargains but a little patience should yield an good unit at an equitable price. And anyone obsessed with owning an aircraft sextant will find units, too.
