A question I ask newcomers when they are looking at theses type of online stores is if there is something wrong with it, who pays for the shipping back to the warehouse? Almost always it is the buyer.

Also the picture of the Saxon show a straight through finder, not a right angle type which will be better for your neck!

Walk into Bintel in Camberwell, ask for Anthony and have a look at the Bintel brand telescopes on display. They'll let you put it on layby and pay it off. Then you have the security of returning to the store if there is a problem.
I start a new role at work this week which sees me move to full time... maybe the layby route is a good one... once I figure out how my pay works out (paid monthly which is a bit annoying... but could be workable). Thanks for the advice everyone!
