Birders region Stevenage&Telford to help check on scopes? (1 Viewer)

I noticed CeX offering 2 Nikon ed82's with zoom for sale on their website, in Stevenage and Telford, without any info. Sending them their filled form (multiple times) over the last weeks with just the basic questions (angled or straight f.i.) didn't result in any reply from them. Great service.

So I'm wondering if any BF member lives around there, might sometime come near either of these CeX stores and can find the time to pop in and take a peek if the scopes are angled or straight (looking for angled) and maybe catch a bit of their general condition? It would be highly appreciated! At the price they're offered (310)...imagine they're angled...worth a try!

Thank you!

My daughters go shopping in Stevenage most weekends (and it's also where I was born and raised) so if they need me to take them there this weekend, I will try to remember to do you a favour

That would be great, Steven, thanks already! And even if it doesn't happen, your good intention is appreciated

Ries,

The Stevenage one is not a Fieldscope. Looks like the discontinued RAIII with a 25x fixed eyepiece. Like his one but black and a 25x eyepiece..

Wow thanks for checking that out, David, fantastic. Not so great how that store keeps declining in quality...first not responding to mails and even putting wrong basic info online?! Even when Telford would be the one hoped for; I'm not going to risk anything with them, can't trust they'd send the right one even when asked...Will keep it close and/or at trustworthy places.

Thanks a lot for the help (and good intentions) in sorting things out guys! BF delivers again, great friendly bunch here

Well, that Stevenage RAIII has sold. The Telford mystery scope remains. Anyone in that area with the time to do the favor to check out if it is really a 25-75x82ed, angled or straight?
