Rather than those, on your budget and for what you want it to do, look on ebay for a Celestron powerseeker 60AZ refractor. They are selling brand new for $95 with $25 p&h.
It's a decent brand, comes with a few eye pieces and a solar filter so you'll be able to view the sun also and i would think a much better option than the 2nd hand tascos you have seen.
But then, I haven't used a tasco so lets see what some other people think.
