    (60% off RRP)

    This is BS !!!
    $198 RRP, $219 RRP, $149.95 RRP all for the same product with the 'free' accessory kit

    At best, this is only $9 cheaper…

    Usually $198.95 when purchased as a set.

    the accessories are actually a 'free bonus' so I think you mean when purchased 'separately'…

    …regardless, the price quoted is rubbish and misleading…

    First (deal) post… and that happens to be misleading… not a good start!

    This scope will be disappointing for most kids. A pair of binoculars will likely be better received and more useful for astronomy.
    They have more capable scopes, but all more expensive than Andrews: http://www.andrewscom.com.au/site-section-10.htm

    Reviews on the net suggest that this telescope is pretty good for the price (roughly $50 is what those reviews got this for), though with quality control issues.

    it would be great if you would give the free shipping.. I want to buy for my kid.

      Be wary, we bought a $100 telescope (National Geographic brand) for my daughter and it is a big let-down, the only thing you can really see with it is the moon, somehow it seems to make things further away…

        Try looking in the other end.

          Thank all for comment. Can you advise me the budget telescope for a kid?
