Don't buy no-name optics...and don't buy Tasco, Bushnell or Meade either!

You can get a very good - quite usable 6" reflector from Hardin optical that
comes with a 25mm eypiece and a 10 mm eyepiece (no barlow but a cheap barlow
is not of much value) for $249.

It's made by Guang Sheng and is a proven design. It is a closeout because
they have a new base. You might need, over time, to modify the base a bit
but when you see it you'll see that it's quite simple.

This is a real telescope, quite usable, and no more expensive than the thing
the guy is selling on ebay.

If he would read the Telescope Buyers FAQ, he'd see a list of good places to get
scopes. He could check out astromart.com for a good used scope, or if he doesn't
mind putting together a simi-kit, there's the very good scopes from Stargazer
Steve too.
