Selection:   Excellent

As their name implies Scope City sells everything related to scopes at their telescope stores. Their selection includes all of the top names in telescopes such as Mead, Celestron, and Orion just to name a few. The most popular styles of telescopes are also available such as: catadioptric, reflecting, refracting, solar, optical tubes, dobsonian, and Newtonian.

Scope City sells all the accessories that you will need for your new telescope. Anyone who uses a telescope can appreciate the importance of a good mount, tripod, or even a case. Scope city also sells a large variety of eyepieces, Barlow lenses, filters, and counterweights.

Scope City sells to both beginners and professionals alike. In fact their website even has sections that cater to both types of users, making it a little easier to find what you’re looking for or it at least separates items into expensive and less expensive. In fact, they sell telescopes that cost more than $20,000. That’s hardly equipment that your average beginning stargazer would consider purchasing.

Payment Options:   Excellent

Scope City accepts most major credit cards including: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Debit cards that bear one of these symbols is also an accepted form of payment. Paying with a credit card is typically the quickest way to get your order shipped.

Scope City also accepts payments via PayPal and Google Checkout. This makes it easier for those that don’t want to pay with a credit card to still place an order without much hassle.

Scope City will not collect sales tax on orders except for orders being shipped to California. California residents can expect to pay 8.25% sales tax on all orders, unless the order is being shipped outside California.
