You may want to post some pictures of the mirrors and optics as well as the scale and vernier to show that they are in good condition.

I live near Toronto, in Canada, but my boat is in the Daytona area, so a local delivery could be possible, if you are interested.
Have you ever used it? Is it functional? And complete?

[h2ome]

I would be more than willing to drive it to you/ Daytona area.
We have never used it, the sextant was my father's before his death. He tried to teach me but my thick head got in the way. We have everything you see in the photos.

I'm doing a home study course in Celestial navigation, and have never even held a sextant, so I don't even know the right questions to ask! I just want to be sure it's not a wall ornament.
My boat is in Green Springs Cove Marina, but, I am presently at home, in Toronto. I have a Daytona Beach Address you could send it to, it'll be held for me.
Is your price firm? How do you accept payment?

[h2ome]

Definitely not a wall ornament. So far everything I have sold from the vessel, everyone's come to me. If you don't mind waiting I'll set up a PayPal account in the next few days. Or hold it for you and when in Florida I'll be glad to drive it up to you.
Many folks from this group have bought equipment from me over the last few months, since I had to disassemble my father's dream.

Regards,
Marc

That would be fantastic! I may have to go there in the next few weeks anyway, so I don't mind waiting. I also don't want to miss out on it. So if you set up PayPal, I will pay for it, and you can hold it until I arrive, if that is agreeable to you.
