mikes right, that sounds like a typical ebay refractor. i personally started with one of these and while it suited my purposes well and got me into astronomy i probably wouldnt recomend it. for about $300 (maybe a touch more) you can get a 6 inch (150mm) dobsonian reflector from bintel or andrews communications which will show you soooo much more
of course if you can spend more than that by all means get something bigger.
