Need a Deal on a Decent Telescope!!

[monkee]

Okay, at the last dang minute, my dd decides the one thing she REALLY wants for Christmas is a telescope (they are studying the solar system at school). This of course after I have already almost finished shopping for her!!

Anyhow, anyone know where I might find a decent quality (doesn't have to be professional or anything, just not junky) for a reasonable price? I don't even know what a reasonable price is for these things, so any help would be appreciated!!!


Thanks!!

I saw a pretty decent one at my wal-mart last week for $39. It wasn't the most expensive or the cheapest one either. They work pretty good. I saw the space station and the space shuttle a few nights ago with it (they were visable with the naked eye over Oklahoma a few nights back) Ebay has some pretty good deals, and I saw a few on amazon.com as well.
