Because there are alot of people, who wants to sell you stuff you dont need. So they need to pamper you what you want.

A lot of advises here.

How about simple 5'' dobsonian, cheap but good to put your finger in the pie without risking much (thousands of $$$)? You can see a lot with it. You can move around easily, you can walk far with it. You can play a lot with it.

Then once you learn something, you can decide where and how much more to spends. And chances are you will keep it as a secondary scope. Or re-sell with low $$$ loss. This hobby can put you quickly into thousand dollars bills.

$374 for 5''
