Buying used makes a lot of sense.

Buying off eBay makes no sense.

eBay is good for books, collectibles, and stuff that's not all that
important. Buy your used telescope and accessories from someone you know or
from www.astromart.com.

I am looking to get back into casual viewing; taking a chair and some
snacks and gaze at the Moon and local Planets and other 'things in the

sky'.

Does trying to get more bang for the buck equate to buying used online
at all?

Might there be a used telescope market, perhaps at swap meets and/or
areas setup at get togethers?

I am asking of people who have experience with such purchases and any
gotchas that might have come up.


Thx in advance.
