$0.99?? Try around $100 (with the overcharged postage)! People are so incredibly gullible! The way these so-called telescopes are moving thru ebay, you'd think there'd be one in every household by now! I'd really like to know, Who are these people buying all this junk?

Hey there is a guy advertising a Meade ETX 125 scope with a starting bid of $1800 and you can buy them new from bintel for $1640. I don't think he will get many takers. Der, I can buy this scope for more than I can buy it new.

Trouble with this Paul is that because its on eBay some poor sucker will think they are getting a good deal. We know its a crap deal but most people don't.

Cheers

I don't think the Meade will sell Rob. $1800 is a lot of money for most people. Cheap impulse-buy junk scopes is where the market is.
