Not all retailers are tarred with the same brush, the retailer should ask the appropriate questions, like have you ever used a telescope before, how much money are you willing to spend. I'm sure most do, but there are some out there that are only interested in a sale.
Scopey
still all conjecture really as the retailer is still nameless, if it was a national geographic then no sympathy, but if it was one on the right of this page then shameful!
ever been to specsavers for glasses?
