Hi Hickny,
You've done the right thing asking for advise.
I bought my first scope off Ebay. Not a good experience.
Don't be drawn in when they say Huge or Professional telescope. Most of them have apetures of only 114mm which is ok if you are buying it for your 8yr old, useless for any serious observing. You will get better views from a pair of 10x50 binos.
