[QUOTE="denco@comcast.n, post: 3418422, member: 25300"] Nah. The few discounted ones went fast and the older model 10x50 SV's are fetching $2300 to $2400 again and the 8x32 SV's are selling at about $1500 to $1700. It is the law of supply and demand. There is not enough supply to keep up with the demand hence the price stays strong. I bought my 8x32 SV's three years ago for $1500 and I bet I could get what I paid for them. You would NEVER do that with a Nikon EDG. If you buy and EDG new and pay $2000 you would be lucky to get $1000 for them a week later if you sold them. They depreciate faster than a new car. Part of it could be if you buy used you have no warranty. It's not transferable. Here is a 10x50 SV that sold for $2300 and here is a Nikon EDG II that sold for $1007.
