Hey that's not too bad! Looks like a pretty good price.. Saxon aren't too bad. I'm not sure about the eyepieces and especially the barlow, looks like a 3x which will most likely be terrible.
Also the eyepieces, the 25mm will be the best.. maybe the 12 will be ok for planetary and lunar. The 4mm will be junk, I can guarantee it.
The motorised mount looks ok, the mount might be a bit wobbly when it's chugging along, especially in a bit of wind, but you could probably hang a brick off it to make it a bit sturdier.
How much is postage? For $399 + $50 postage you could've got an 8" dob which would be much better quality, and obviously a bigger mirror. But if you're planning on building your own 10" dob, then it's probably going to be quite an adequate scope to start you out and get you hooked!
You just might need to invest in a few cheapish eyepieces, like some better quality plossls or maybe the GSO SV eyepieces. The good thing about that, is you'll be able to use them in your next scope too.
Let us know how it performs when it arrives!
