This scope would offer a potential buyer the following advantages if they already owned an AO equipped Gemolite.

1) Upgrade from the 569 or 570 your Gemolite came with the the 580 which has Six to One Zoom. The last and best AO stereo scope made in Buffalo New York.

2) Happens to come with a pair of 10x oculars which would allow more working distance , larger field of view and depth of field which might be of use. (GIA usually equipped Gemolites with 15X which is not what the regular microscope industry did. There 10X was always "standard")

3)Focusing mount could be kept for spare parts or your old scope put on it and sold to recover some of the money spent.

Reputable ebay seller with return privilege. Price is a reasonable buy it now price. 580s usually bring similar amounts. You still could make them a lesser offer too.
