Hi and question (1 Viewer)

Hello!
I'm an ecologist from Australia wanting buy second hand binoculars... probably Olympus Tracker 8x25 (I haven't worked out how old that model is yet but I'd prefer to try it over Trinovids first, even though I'm a bit anti-porro). I've already got an 8x42 I'm happy with. Which sites would you suggest I check? I haven't worked out how to search on this forum, I find it a bit confusing. I'd be happy buying internationally but the currency conversion plus postage often makes the advantage negligible. Can I search for sellers on here that are in Aus? Any advice appreciated!
 
Hi Jezebel and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

To save you having to write your question out again I've moved your post to the Binocular forum where there are more people able to help you.

This is a big site and can seem confusing at first, but it does get less so the more you visit. The Binocular Forum is towards the bottom of the front page if you scroll down the list. Please don't be afraid to ask if you want any help finding your way around.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing about the species you see around you.
 
Oh sorry missed your other question:

At the top of the page is a magnifying glass which allows you to search 🔍. You have options in a drop down list.

You may need to experiment with it a bit to get the best results.
