Hi All,

I hope it’s ok to ask on here but I was wondering if anyone knew of another forum site that had a good binoculars classifieds section. I am in the market for some new glass but would much rather buy secound hand then new.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Equipment Exchange here.

Also hit up your local pawnshops.

Yeah, they have some good stuff.  Be aware you need 50 posts there to use their EE.

I picked up a nice set of vortex in excellent shape for 40% off what Cabela’s wanted.  Craigslist.

I wait on sales. Europtic, Natchez, or Midway. They also have demos and open box.
Much safer and warranty.

Thanks for the feedback!!

Yeah the EE on this site is fairly limited for bino’s especially for higher end ones. I just had a look at Rockslide and it looks great but the 50 post minimum is a bummer.

After some google searching I randomly came across https://www.birdforum.net and that by far seems like my best option. I know nothing about birding nor did I even have a clue that it was such a big deal to the point where there is an entire forum with ALOT of traffic so there seems to a very large classified section with high end bino’s up for sale on that forum.

I think the guys on rokslide mentioned that birdy forum too as a source.

Pretty much every older person garage sale or estate sale.

I think every older guy had at least a couple sets of binoc's. I'm down to 3-4 depending on how many I can find at any one time.

These I can't lose, they are to damn big.

Great for glassing deer at dusk though.

I have two steiners I bought years ago on sierra.com.  Great pricing (like 250 for 8x40s). They may still carry some.
