Just to expand on this. I figure only about 1 in 200 scopes advertised on ebay are worth any consideration at all. This is due to the fact that the vast majority are el-cheapo rubbish scopes often advertised at no so cheap prices.

Occasionally you might see a real telescope for sale, but its pretty rare that anything good will sell for a true bargain price, and then there's the risk of buying sight unseen. So please stay away from ebay unless you know exactly what you are doing !
