price check please on swaro binos

looking at a set of 3 yr old Swarovski SLC 8x30 in excellent to new condition...what do ya suppose they should be priced at and are they decent in low light dusk type lighting?

Do they look like this?

If they're the SLC Neu in 8x30(like the picture), I'd say $700-$800 in very good shape. They're as good as you'll get in low light for an 8x30, but they'll be slightly dimmer than a set of equal quality binos in a larger diameter objective. Plenty for hunting during legal shooting times. They're a nice set, lightweight and crystal clear. I've had a couple of them, older ones and newer.

I found them locally on kijiji and the owner claimed they were warranty replacements about 3 years ago...shes asking 900 but I see I can buy them new for about that

They're still great binoculars, but I wouldn't offer more than $600-$650 for that set.
