Troy,
If you haven't checked out Orion Telescopes & Binoculars (www.telescope.com) they would be a great place to start.
An 8" SkyQuest lists for $329 (with $45 standard shipping) and includes the upgraded 2" Crayford focuser: http://www.telescope.com/control/product/~category_id=dobsonians/~pcategory=...
Astromart is also a good source for used equipment: http://www.astromart.com/classifieds/

Hello all. I'm new here and this is my first message.
I am going to be getting a new (at least new to me) telescope soon. I'm looking for an 8" dob that takes 2" eyepieces. What I'm wondering is...where is a good place to buy either used or new telescopes at a decent price?
Thanks for the help.
