Yet to be talked into something at Bintel (Sydney store at least). Regularly they talk me out of buying things, and instead suggest cheaper alternatives or explain why.
I would second the binoculars. From personal experience, binoculars served me well as a kid and were infinitely more useful when I fell out of Astronomy. Now getting back into it I enjoy the start they gave me and understand why I want a telescope over them.
Either way, Bintel is great place to go.
