Estate Sales & Collection Liquidation
Dealing with a loved one's telescope collection? We understand this can be overwhelming — astronomy equipment is specialized, and it's hard to know what things are worth without deep product knowledge.
Khan Scope Centre specializes in purchasing complete astronomy estates and collections. We handle everything from premium eyepiece sets and classic refractors to mounts, imaging rigs, and accessories — including vintage and discontinued equipment that requires expert evaluation.
What makes us different:
- We know what it's worth. Our team has decades of hands-on experience with both current and vintage astronomy equipment. We research every item against current market conditions to give you an honest, accurate valuation.
- We buy complete collections. You don't need to sort, list, or sell individual items yourself. We'll take the entire lot and save you months of work.
- We handle the logistics. For large collections, we can arrange pickup in the Greater Toronto Area or coordinate shipping for out-of-town estates.
- Respectful and professional. We understand these collections represent years of passion and investment. We treat every consignment with care and make sure the equipment finds good homes with the next generation of astronomers.
If you're an executor, family member, or collector looking to liquidate, reach out to us with a list of what's available. Photos and condition notes are helpful but not required — we can work with whatever you have.
