if you read an ad for a telescope that said " tube may or may not be rusty ", would you buy it? why should someone put up with this rust 3 months after purchase?
to say you only paid so much for a scope is relative, $900.00 to you or me may not be a lot but to someone who has saved for their first scope it matters.
l agree you get what you pay for but rust is a condition that WILL get progressively worse and to most people will be an expensive problem to fix properly.
What other defects do you think are acceptable in a " cheap scope "?
