Hello, I want to buy a microscope for personal use, maybe let’s say as a start in a new hobby.  
I found on a local site a Zeiss microscope, second hand but in a seemingly good condition, very well preserved. I will add some pictures with it. The buyer is asking for 250$ but i think i can get it for 200$.  
Let me know if it’s worth the money. Thanks.
