Could someone tell me what the value of this telescope is? It is a private sale and I am a beginner. The only thing I see on it is Model 4495C
D=114 F=910 F/8
The seller is asking $250.00 Canadian Dollars for it.
I tried searches on this model with no sucess. Is this a decent starter model or will I be frustrated by it? The price was attractive to me although most I have read have said try to start with a 6".

Hugh:

I've got a Meade catalog that's a couple of years old and no reference to 4495.

Meade does make a cheap telescope that sells at WalMart. Don't know the number but following an old proverb "When in doubt - don't"
