Robert,
It may sound strange but I don't have any experience
with the shops in the US. Bexause I have not traveled to the
East or West coast recently.
(In the middle, there is no sextant shops that I know about,
except Celestaire:-)

The prices here seem to be higher than on e-bay.
I mean very sbstnantially higher.
So far I've seen only two usable sextants (in Hamburg)
I mean with all parts preswent and unbroken.
They are 1250 and 1850 Euros, respectively.
(Similar sextants can be had for $600 on e-bay.
But I simply don't see how can you possibly make
sure that the thing that you buy on e-bay is in good condition.

Even less I understand how people buy chtonometers
on e-bay:-) You pay $3000-$5000 and you even do not know
whether it works and whether all parts are present?
And hat can you do if the thing simply does not work?

> I don?t know what brand you are looking for

I am looking for a good old vernier sextant but in really good
condition.

I visited CP a year ago (last summer). Their prices are easy
to describe: they are more or less the same as Celestaire prices,
but in Euros instead of dollars:-)
Of course these prices were quited "only for me" and they seared that
this is their maximal discount and they are willing to loose money
only to make me happy.

Alex.
