i am living in ireland where finding a range of used bins is proving impossible, especially living out in the sticks as i do. Can anyone recommend good online sites for uk/irish retailers offering second hand bins? google throws up so much tosh - don't think i can take another trawl through endless links!

Thanks in advance.

Doesn't this site have "classifieds" for used bins,scopes, etc...? I have finally decided to part with my beloved Nikon Venturers and was hoping to sell them here.

Hi Jamie,

This site has a load of UK photographic dealers listed, most of whom have secondhand listings......some (like London Camera Exchange/Ace Cameras) have used binoculars.....

You could also keep an eye out here.....

I bought a pair of ex-display Opticron SR.GA 8x32s from LCE, who were fine to deal with, but a lot of second hand binoculars from dealers are very much overpriced compared with eBay. If you're willing to spend some time searching eBay, you can get some great bargains. I got a pair of Zeiss Notarem clones, 7x35 roofs - really good quality - for £9.

Michael.

Thank you all for your advice - a few new sources there.

I am spending numerous hours searching ebay - keep seeing trinovids which would be cheap, except for the fact that they're in the USA and are therefore liable for 21% import duty.

will keep looking, help much appreciated.
