Over the past several years, we've purchased two telescopes for our daughter that haven't been very good and have caused more frustration than enjoyment. We are now in the process of trying to sell them and buy something she can use and enjoy.
Hi,
Please post the brand, diameter and model number of the scopes you are trying to sell. Once you do that some of us out here can let you know if they really are bad scopes or if they are good scopes that maybe you just need some help learning how to use.
Clear skies!
