I have been watching them for a month or longer. I kept hoping that I would find a used bin for a good price, but every one I bid on went more than I could go. It's that last second bidding that always seems to happen, where the item ends up "just out of your reach". I Hate that!.......:-O Well not today!! I bid on a Bushnell Legend 8x42 Roof Prism Binocular. Looks like new, looks like someone got it and decided they didn't like it. Seller has 100% positive feedbacks. Long story short, I won the auction and it will be on it's way today via Priority Mail............:t: So, I'm not looking for a bin now. I'm waiting for the Legend to come. When I get it, I will give my thoughts on how it is.  If I don't like it, I will probably put it up fs on this site first. I hope I love it, but if y'all have read my other posts, you know I really have a problem with seeing coatings in the form of colors showing up in outside 1/2 to 1/3 of the FOV. This should tell me if an FMC coated bin will work for me. If it doesn't then I guess I will have to go for an old set of bins without all the coatings........ Thanks everyone, as usual y'all are always there to make a reply and that's a good thing.........:t:</blockquote>
