I would avoid it. 60mm is way too small. The small eyepiece means you can't
get good eyepieces (other than a few expensive options) for it without a
hybrid diagonal. They eyepieces with it aren't any good.


Minor nitpick - articles in Sky and Telescope have noted that 60mm is a
perfectly respectable aperture for a first telescope if you're on a
budget and want a highly portable instrument.
I agree wholeheartedly with the rest, and I wouldn't touch a telescope
on Ebay. Literally. I _would_ want to touch a telescope I was buying.
