Hi John if your not going to image through it then just about any old small refractor will do. Try these from Bintel maybe

Orion ShortTube 80mm Refractor $445
Meade Series 5000 ED APO 80mm OTA $500

or some of these short tube options from Andews

But if your going to spend that much you might as well spend a bit more and get a scope that is a recognised good quality imaging scope as in the Orion 80ED

There's a few choices anyway
