i thought as much, somewhere between £200 and £300. any lower than £200 i was going to keep them in the hope my interest would grow again? have gotten interested in other hobbies and they've sat in a cupboard for the last 12 months and to be honest they never got used much before that. optics are still mint as never cleaned them with more than a rocket blower.

Start at 2/3rds of retail so perhaps £240? Or so. I think LCE are being a bit optimistic but they're a retail outlet. And at least you undercut them at that price.

Put an ad in the For Sale section and you'll see if you get any interest.
