Swaro el 10x42 swaro vision used pricing

[the_blacksmith]

I'm looking at buying a used set of el 10x42 swarovision binos, in about 7.5/10 condition. Used, body shows wear, one minor scuff on a lens that isn't visible through the binos. Can't find anything comparable on the EE, so I'm wondering what you guys think these should be worth. New they are 3200.

no thoughts anyone? a vague price range maybe?

I always sceptical about buying used glass, but have no problem trying to sell mine haha. I would be hard pressed to spend over 1700-1800 on em maybe? And for that price I would most likely be looking at a new pair of glass. I am kicking myself for not jumping on a new pair last year for $2100 at a store, the last pair they had.

New 3200 BUT BUT BUT.... USED and a 7.5/10. Body wear is not a biggie UNLESS it has INDENTS in which case the body wear is significant. However ANY scuff on the lens is NASTY!!. That's what you're paying for, lens perfection. Even being Swaro's the MOST I'd suggest, without being able to view them is under $1000. Just my opinion. I've purchased used (and new) Leica's and used Zeiss binoculars, great bargains because they were older models but the performance is superb. The used ones cost a few 100's of dollars, not thousands. There is a guy selling a used set of 7X42 Leicas from somewhere in Northern Canada, this model is excellent and I'd really like to see it 1 on 1 against the Swaro. Sorry if I rained on our parade, just trying to help. Best of luck with your choice.
