I'm going to take a bit of a risk ...
... by daring to raise the subject of "Department Store" telescopes on the IIS Forums, but I was flicking through the Aldi catalogue that just landed in my mailbox.
This weekend, they are selling the National Geographic 76 mm / 350mm table-top Dob for $49.99, and the National Geographic 76 mm / 700 mm Newt on an equatorial mount for $99.99. At those prices they're practically Christmas stocking-stuffers for any little kids that you might know. (I've used the table-top Dob, and it's not total rubbish optically.)
(Dons flame-proof suit and takes shelter behind a blast wall.)
