It might be okay - I still use my 114mm 900mm focal length reflector, but it's not barlowed.
Only problem is the ad mentions two sets of eyepieces,
the H20mm, SR4mm which are junk eyepieces, while the Kellners listed further down are not great, but useable.
Also, cheap telescopes tend to cheat on the finders - they look like 6X30s or 5X24s, but when you look inside them they have an aperture mask to make their poor optics sharp so that they are actually hopeless 6X15s or 5X10s. You wouldn't find much in the sky with the latter, except for bright planets.
If what is being sold had a decent finderscope, and came with the Kellner eyepieces, well - you could make some use out of it for a while finding the brighter deep sky objects. Providing it delivered decent images that is.
In other words, there are a lot of unknowns. But the price is cheap.
