How much a reflecting telescope will cost depends on the features that you want, and the brand that you choose. You can find them for as low as 159.00 dollars, up to 800.00 dollars.

Who made use of the reflecting telescope?
Isaac Newton invented the reflecting telescope.
Why did Isaac Newton invent the telescope?
Newton did not invent the telescope, he invented the reflecting telescope. The reflecting telescope was a major improvement over the distorting refracting telescope.
Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens or a mirror?
reflecting telescope gathers light from mirror
Why are most modern telescopes reflecting telescopes?
A reflecting telescope is much easier to build than a refracting telescope and consequently is much less expensive. A reflecting telescope uses a concave mirror to collect and concentrate starlight and send it to your eye, whereas a refracting telescope uses a series of lenses to do the same thing. Optical quality lenses are much more expensive (and heavier) than a well-made mirror. For a given amount of money, much larger reflecting telescope can be built than a refracting. For very large telescopes, the lenses needed would be enormous and next to impossible to make optically perfect. Consequently, most telescopes are reflecting.
What telescope using lenses to make an image?
The reflecting telescope
Who made use of the reflecting telescope?
Isaac Newton invented the reflecting telescope.
What is the difference between a reflecting telescope and a refracting telescope?
A reflecting telescope uses mirrors while refracting telescopes uses lens. The refracting telescope also had chromatic aberration and bad resolution while the reflecting telescope had none of these.

What type of telescope is hubble space telescope?
It is a reflecting telescope
What is the difference between a High Power telescope and a Reflecting telescope?
A Reflecting telescope has a lot of zooming technologies and the High Power telescope is highly powered.
Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens or a mirror?
reflecting telescope gathers light from mirror
Why are most large telescope reflecting telescope?
They are much shorter than refracting telescopes, hence, much cheaper to buy and easier to transport.
What are some of the advantages of reflecting telescopes over refracting telescopes?
Size... a reflecting telescope with the same power as a refracting telescope is much shorter. This is because, in the reflecting telescope, the incoming light is bounced off mirrors (often more than once) which means the physical length is much shorter than an equivalent refracting model.
How are reflecting and retracting telescopes different?
A reflecting telescope is different from a refracting telescope because a reflecting telescope uses a concave lens, a plane mirror, and a convex lens. While a refracting telescope uses two lens.
Why are most modern telescopes reflecting telescopes?

What is the main difference between a reflecting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
Those are, in fact, identical down to the finest detail.
