Touptek 533C with drawer and uv/ir cut 700€

[plain elk]

Not gonna lie I don't have a better pic and no willpower to take one rn

only sign of wear is a really small scratch on the body I made accidentally while carrying the rig inside, the sensor is perfectly clean
I'm including the touptek drawer and a svbony 2" uv/ir cut which served me really well despise the cheap price
Original case for everything included

if you're buying the cam first I'd suggest also buying the touptek oag (not mine of course, I'll still use it) as it bolts on and makes for a really solid imaging train

price includes shipping in the EU only, insurance on buyer

[echo locust]

i was going to offer 100 but that scratch makes it too bad

at this point you should pay me so i take it

ngl

[plain elk]

I'm gonna chase you with my counterweight bar

[fiery flower]

Not gonna buy it but how much?

Im so sad. Bought a used 183mc pro for 650

And now everywhere cheap offers of 533 are popping up

😭

[plain elk]

i forgot to add the price sry, updated now

[echo locust]

this one is actually an insane deal

[fiery flower]

phu

[fiery flower]

its on sale

[echo locust]

840 eur for this and an upgraded 533 sensor

[fiery flower]

huh

[fiery flower]

thats not 840

[fiery flower]

I know the specs

[echo locust]

USD to EUR conversion

[fiery flower]

ah

actually that makes no sense

Ah na

dumb

sry

I live in germany and I assumed it to be euros without really looking at it

[uncut shuttle]

bro is selling EVERYTHING

[plain elk]

evo to sqa55
533 to 585 mono
umi17 to ragdoll 20 pro

so yeah

[echo locust]

dw man just give it to me theyre all in a terrible condition

ill fix them dw

[plain elk]

it depends on the payment processor, e.g. paypal has terrible rates

[torn wren]

My condolences

[fiery flower]

Thank you :|

[plain elk]

Touptek 533C with drawer and uv/ir cut 750€

[plain elk]

Touptek 533C with drawer and uv/ir cut 700€

[uncut shuttle]

bro wants it GONE

its a good cam tbh, good price

[plain elk]

I mean I did buy the 585 mono bundle, I have no use for it anymore

I'm just trying to find a reasonable price

[fiery flower]

Now I am really thinking about it 😭

But I would have to get rid of my 183mc pro first

[mild wharf]

Do it

[uncut shuttle]

It’s a good price, i would

[echo locust]

tbh

id personally go with 140 extra bucks to include an OAG with the drawer and uv/ir cut with a brand new Ares-C,(with higher fps and fullwell)

[fiery flower]

But I need time to sell it. Who would buy a 183mc pro...

I have to ask my parents

Problem is that I am on holidays the next two weeks and I dont think @plain elk would want to wait for me to sell my cam

Funny is that this camera with included Uv/ir cut for 700 is almost cheaper than my 183 with Uv/ir cut which I still haven't bought

[mild wharf]

Haha well, if you saw the listing and bought it, then theres someone else out there who`d do the same. I thought my 294MC wouldnt sell or get traded for a 1600MM, well 1 day after postnig it up i got a 1600MM, Manual filter wheel and ZWO LRGB filters for that cam

[fiery flower]

[fiery flower]

True

@plain elk in which country do you live. Buying unreleated, I just wanted to know where you are from

[mild wharf]

Italy iirc

[fiery flower]

I am going to Italy in my holidays lol

[uncut shuttle]

bruh

i got the same thing for my 585 so basically i’m the best negotiator in the world

[fiery flower]

Wtf

Who was that poor guy who agreed

[uncut shuttle]

i sold it for cash then bought the 1600 and stuff for cash so it wasn’t a trade per se

[fiery flower]

still

[echo locust]

eh

people barely do research or have patience when they want something

or they just want to get rid of stuff

[fiery flower]

me

[plain elk]

I'm not in a hurry but if someone else makes an offer I'll sell it 🤷‍♂️

[plain elk]

Wanna get it in person lol

[fiery flower]

Yeah..

And I can't buy it without having my 183 sold

[fiery flower]

Where exactly do you live in italy may I ask?

[echo locust]

y

take out a credit from your parents or something

[plain elk]

without doxxing myself, middle italy on the eastern coast

[fiery flower]

Okay. Thats too far away from where we are going. We are going to Meran

[plain elk]

meran?

[echo locust]

whats meran

[fiery flower]

Near to Bozen

In the alps

[echo locust]

oh Merano

i see

[plain elk]

oh I see

[echo locust]

isnt that like austrian border

[plain elk]

yeah that's quite far

close enough yeah

[fiery flower]

Ah right, english

[fiery flower]

Yap

They speak german there lol. At least in the more rural regions

[echo locust]

oh youre german?

[fiery flower]

Yap

You are too iirc

[echo locust]

try selling your 183 on forum.astronomie

[fiery flower]

And on every other platform

But I can't risk it since fenice understandably will sell it to who ever is first

[plain elk]

if you're sure you can sell your 183 in a few weeks I can save the 533 for you

I haven't put it up for sale anywhere else for now so it's sort of safe

[fiery flower]

Mhm. I will ask my parents. Thank you

[fiery flower]

@plain elk would you be willing to sell the cam via ebay?

[plain elk]

sure

Idk if it comes with extra costs tho

[fiery flower]

It doesnt

[plain elk]

Cool

[fiery flower]

Could you show me some images you made with it?

[plain elk]

#1405477195379511297 message

[dusky nacelle]

isnt that more expensive for u? they charge fees on buyer

[fiery flower]

They dont. I don't know why everyone believes that

[mild wharf]

Does here, EBay takes a certain amount from the price, say you ask £600, eBay will take say £6 so the seller actually gets £594, they have to make profit some how and I know that it’s something they do here

[fiery flower]

mhm. Never heard of that before

[plain elk]

Someone else is interested in the cam, I've told him it's on hold for a few weeks

[fiery flower]

I am now waiting to have my account on forum.astronomie accepted. Then I can put my offer in

[dusky nacelle]

i sold something a while ago and it said the buyer spent about 7 ish percent more than what i listed for ebay fees

[fiery flower]

bruh

[uncut shuttle]

yea it’s a new policy, they don’t take a cut of the person selling but charge more to the buyer

[dusky nacelle]

paypal g&s only has a 3% fee 🤷‍♂️

not that im saying fenice would scam you

[plain elk]

oc not but if his parents are worried he has to bear the extra cost

[fiery flower]

I bought my 183mc via ebay and I didnt have to pay any extra

[plain elk]

I have no idea what's going on then lol

[uncut shuttle]

it’s a new policy

introduced in the past couple months

also

it’s included in the price, you don’t know your paying extra

[fiery flower]

Ah. Ok. That's mean

[fiery flower]

No one wants to buy my cam :C

[plain elk]

It's been one day .-.

[fiery flower]

I know :>

[glad venture]

may I ask what made you switch to the ragdoll 20 pro?

[plain elk]

payload, features. I'm postponing the purchase but I'm set on that mount

[glad venture]

20kg was not enough payload? wth are you doing to your mount? 😳 🙏

[plain elk]

I'm planning for an RC10

20kg are technically sufficient but I like the features of the ragdoll 20

[glad venture]

thats sick mate, shooting from your backyard id guess?

those are bulky

[plain elk]

balcony, but I've got a good view of the entire sky

[glad venture]

okay okay cool

[torn wren]

Is your seeing supportive of that fl?

Wish mine was

[echo locust]

He‘ll make it supportive

[plain elk]

not really tbh, I would add a reducer which Ig would help a bit

but it's gonna take a while before I end up with something like that

reason why I'm postponing the ragdoll

[torn wren]

10" f3 newt time

[plain elk]

Yeah honestly a newt would be a smarter and cheaper move

Mmh can I fit a 10" on my umi17? 🤔

[echo locust]

if you build windshields yeah prolly

[fiery flower]

@plain elk could you please make some images with all the accessories you want to sell your cam with?

[echo locust]

no fenice scammed me

he didnt send me his um17 for free

[fiery flower]

Oh lord

[echo locust]

i know right

criminal

like how dare he not gift me a 1k mount for free

[plain elk]

I'll send them tomorrow, I won't be home until late today

But in short it's all the stuff originally included with the 533 (you can see what on their site), m54 filter drawer, if needed I have a m54 to m48 ring, svbony uv/ir cut, 3d printed cable management thingy

[fiery flower]

okidoki

[fiery flower]

Oh huh, there is a power cable in the original package??

[plain elk]

there's the psu

[fiery flower]

Ah, I see

[plain elk]

Sorry for the delay, usb 3 cable and psu not shown as they're still attached to the rest. If they're identical to the 585 I've ordered I might just give you the brand new cables

M54 to m48 also not shown, it's in another box

[fiery flower]

👍

Thank you

[fiery flower]

nobody wants my cam @plain elk 😭

[plain elk]

unfortunately it's an older sensor, it could take a while

your call wether you want me to keep it aside for you for a bit more or not

[fiery flower]

please

I already got 236 clicks on my offer

[plain elk]

Sure

[fiery flower]

still waitin‘

[plain elk]

I'm not going anywhere, for now

[fiery flower]

:>

[fiery flower]

Thats only in the Uk, lol

Just looked it up

[uncut shuttle]

why do i live in this stupid country

[fiery flower]

[mild wharf]

Wait fr? classic uk L moment

[fiery flower]

According to chatgpt, but I let him give me sources and apparently... Edit:

[mild wharf]

I agree with nexy, why do we live in this stupid country

[plain elk]

Or rather, in a country with very stupid people

But that's not exclusive to the uk

[fiery flower]

Move to Ireland

[fiery flower]

Jup

[mild wharf]

Very true, the people here are truly something

[mild wharf]

Good plan, however im a astrophotographer

cant afford that

[fiery flower]

True

Forgot for a moment

[mild wharf]

happens to the best of us

[fiery flower]

Mount for the travel and Scope and Camera for new house

[mild wharf]

But why new house when new 12" RC setup

Or bigger

[plain elk]

Bad seeing

As much as I'd love a 10rc I think I'll stick to max 1000mm of focal

Seeing is just bad here

[mild wharf]

Yeah thats true, im at 1000mm too and seeing is the limiting factor

[dusky nacelle]

nope its a thing here in the us, unless it changes the display price for the buyers idk

i just remember selling smth and then the reciept added like a 7% fee on the cost for the buyer

[fiery flower]

mhmhm

We dont have it here in the EU at least

@plain elk thanks btw for waiting. But nobody is interested in my cam :(

[plain elk]

so no need to hold it for longer?

[fiery flower]

No, that is not what I ment

[fiery flower]

I currently have an interested buyer

[fiery flower]

...yet

[plain elk]

Send him an offer for a few bucks off

It means spending more on the 533 but for a much better performance it's worth it Imo

[fiery flower]

The problem is that he doesn't want me to send him the camera he wants to pick it up himself bruh

Not the money

[fiery flower]

And apparently I am too far away from his home but I asked wether we could meet halfway

[plain elk]

How far away is "half way"?

[fiery flower]

idk... he just asked where I live and then said that I am too far away

So I dont even know where he lives bruh

But I guarantee that I will buy your camera when mine is sold

[plain elk]

Lol

Isn't there any cheap shipping company there? I've shipped stuff around Europe for 10€ and with a week max for delivery

Seems weird that he's only up for pickup

[fiery flower]

he is in germany too..

Its only about he wanting to see the camera himself ig

[plain elk]

That's fair

Any platform that allows for the client to send the camera back in case he doesn't like it?

[echo locust]

ask him if hes fine buying over Ebay since you can get buyer protection there

[fiery flower]

In my article description I said that I would preferably like to sell via Ebay

[fiery flower]

Maybe he does not want to go to the effort of sending it back

[fiery flower]

Another

[plain elk]

Nice

[fiery flower]

Someone else who offered his 183mc after I did, already sold it bruh

[plain elk]

🤷‍♂️

was it sold for cheaper?

[fiery flower]

20 euros

He went down 200€ from 799 to 599 in just a week or so :|

[mild wharf]

You got this! You’ll get fenice’s 533C

[plain elk]

unfortunately that's the right price for a 183, you can find a new 533 for 800 or so now. There's no reason to get your for the same

[fiery flower]

Ah, sry

I am dumb

He went down, not I

I am offering mine for 620

[plain elk]

I see, well the deal is similar

[fiery flower]

Most used 183mc are actually offered here in germany for around 700-800€

[plain elk]

and how long do they stay up? I don't expect those to sell fast

[fiery flower]

idk

[plain elk]

Any updates?

[fiery flower]

I have someone interested. He asked for a dark frame but didnt answer yet

Sorry

[dusky nacelle]

what a ride

[fiery flower]

Somehow everyone only wants to pay 500€ :c

[echo locust]

Maybe ask parents if they’re willing to lend you 200 to buy ts

[plain elk]

Not really worth it, he already spent more than 700 for the 183, it would mean spending a total of 900 or so for mine

Which is still cheaper than buying the filter and drawer separately but not by much

[fiery flower]

I spent 650 for my 183mc. So I would loose 150€ and I would spend 850 for fenices 533

[fiery flower]

exactly

[fiery flower]

Now they wont write back

bruh

[fiery flower]

@plain elk

Bruh

How much did you pay for your bundle?

[echo locust]

You do know the atr585m costs like 785 EUR

New

Taxes and VAT are included to my knowledge

[plain elk]

750

[fiery flower]

crazy

[fiery flower]

huh

[fiery flower]

I am so sorry that it takes so long 😭

[plain elk]

I might need the money soon so I could call it off anytime, but I'll wait one more week at least

[fiery flower]

I will drop the price then

[plain elk]

don't go too far tho, it still has to be worth it

[fiery flower]

By ten bucks

[plain elk]

.-.

[fiery flower]

My mom said 20, lol

[fiery flower]

Will probably be gone soon. Just lowered the price too late

[plain elk]

Found a buyer?

[fiery flower]

Not yet. But all cams that where available for 600 had been gone within a week. But I understand if you dont want to wait anymore. It already too too long

But since I've been tutoring, I can pay the difference so I can drop the price

[fiery flower]

I found one

@plain elk, I found a buyer :D

[plain elk]

nice

no need to ping twice tho

[fiery flower]

Sry. I only wanted you to know that suffering finaly found an end

[fiery flower]

Could you maybe search what the shipping costs to germany are from your place?

[plain elk]

dm me your zip code and I'll check

[dusky nacelle]

has the saga concluded

[plain elk]

We're trying to find a way to ship without spending too much, but yeah it's pretty much over

[fiery flower]

It did. But I dont think you can call this a saga if you compare it to MarteenSams :[

[jolly reef]

Holy sketchiness

Crazy that you went thru this fenice

[plain elk]

?

I just waited some time

[jolly reef]
