First telescope

Hi everyone,

I'm brand new to astronomy and am looking to buy my first telescope. I have been looking around for relevant specifications and brands and came across this
>http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3704408 85758&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT<

I'm sure that telescopes are like everything else in that you get what you pay for. This does seem to tick the boxes for what i'm looking for however (+100mm aperture, long focal length, under $300).

Can anyone give me some advice as to whether this is a surprisingly good deal or a fantasy that will drive me mad?

Any advice at all would be much appreciated!
