Editing What Telescope (section)

== Buying Cheap/Used Gear ==
It is highly recommended that you search the used market for this equipment. You can save a ton of money, and the gear usually works just as good. People can even work out the kinks of their equipment (such as mounts), so in the case of mounts, you could be buying something even better than from the factory. Do your research and use your best judgement before you pull the trigger on a purchase.
