A new scope in the Mass Market

Well I never thought I would see it !
A dobsonian mounted skywatcher reflecting telescope at big W

Now that said it is only a 76mm primary with a focal length of 300 mm so is F3.9 and looks like it has a fixed mirror, so I wonder about collumation.
The price will attract the mass market at $98 !

Finally they are going away from horrible tripods on awful mounts, which has to be good !
I guess not much good for anything beyond the moon and bright star clusters.

I am sure we will see these turning up after Xmas as people will buy them !
Has anyone tried one / seen one
