    Minox 15x56 bl MIG

    Anyone have experience with this vendor ? These are listed as new unopened at $599 + $15 dollars shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Minox-BL-15x56-BR-With-Tripod-Adapter-/191113204009?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c7f3c1129

    The new replacement for these on Optics Planet seems to be identical other than not specifying Made In Germany. http://www.opticsplanet.com/minox-bl-15x56-binoculars-made-in-germany.html http://www.opticsplanet.com/minox-bl-15x56-binocular.html

    I'm very tempted to try them. I don't know how often the open box price is available.
