Have them show you as much as they can about collimating the scope. What knobs do what and the sequence of events. No amount of internet browsing can ever replace an experienced person showing you how it is done face to face.

This will be the single most important thing you will have to do with your 12" Dobsonian after purchase and it is required relatively frequently.
