Totally useless for anything.

So, the listing is "not as described?"
"This is a great old telescope of premium quality. - really??? not according to Mick...
The high quality objective lenses deliver sharp images of the Moon, the planets Jupiter and Saturn, and much more. - really??? with no coating on the secondary?
It's positioned on a very heavy and solid mount that moves easily in all directions for fast and easy manoeuvring. - does it come with a supply of WD-40?
Zoom in on Saturn's rings, the Moon's craters, the International Space Station, comets, asteroids and much, much " - WOW all that with no coating on the secondary! And a "brass lens"? Never tried to look through a "brass" lens before. What the transparency of a "brass" lens anyway?
This seller is obviously has no idea what he is selling, and needs to be (a) advised of his deceptive listing description, however unintentional it is, and (b) at the very worst case, reported to eBay. Idiots like this should not be tolerated on eBay.
