Swarovski 10x42EL Binoculars

[JamesK.]

I've been shopping these binoculars for some time trying to save a few bucks by buying a used pair in good shape but haven't had any luck. Does anybody know of a person wanting to sell a pair? As expensive as they are it seems like it's easier just to buy a new pair and bite the bullet instead of playing the craigslist/eBay game. Kind of a random thread to start but thought I would throw it out there. Thanks in advance.

Watch monster muleys forum... They have some on there a lot. I've  bought a lot of stuff from camera land New York also.. They may have some demos at a good price..

Thanks! I'm not familiar with either of those but I will check it out!

Swarovski's are very nice glass, but for the money, there probably going to cost you more  used than a new Vortex would cost,  I would go with Vortex.
Vortex has a life time warranty, and the difference between the to, there is a you-tube comparison between the Swarovski and Vortex, you should check out before you buy and old pair of Swarovski, not sure if the warranty transfers when they are sold, I know Vortex does.

You wouldn`t happen to have a link to the youtube video would you? I looked but couldn`t find anything.

If you want the best you're going to have to pay for it.  I would stick with Swarovski.  If you haven't been watching ebay that would be a good place to watch as their are always a few pairs listed it seems like.

There was a pair on here listed this last week.  You may want to look in the classifieds.  It was a very good price.  id say for the price they might be gone already, but you never know.

They were gone in minutes.

Just constantly keep checking all the sites classified ads.  I recently sold a pair for a good price, and saw several others for sale when I was selling.

Thanks for the input. I ended up buying a pair through a guy off of Craigslist. Brand new in the box but a demo pair and at a pretty good discount.

How much did you end up paying?

[Crunchy]

You made a good decision on the swaros.  I did a lot of shopping before I got mine.  Awesome glass

[JamesK.]

I apologize for the slow response. I ended up paying $2,000 for a pair of 10x42EL HD's.

Way to go.  I think the Vortex optics are pretty sweet for the money but refuse to buy *censored* from china when I have an option to purchase from another country.

My dad just got a new pair of 8.5x42 EL's.  They replaced his 5yr old set of the same and his old ones were great but WOW the new Swarovision HD's are outstanding!!!  They cost a pretty penny but damn are they clear!!!!

JamesK, as good as they are, you will never regret spending that much on a set on binos but, if you haven't already done so, make sure to get them itemized and put on your insurance at "replacement value".  Guard them with your life and you'll get many, many, years of viewing enjoyment from them.

[JamesK.]

b23- I appreciate the advice. I have not gotten them itemized on my insurance yet. I can assure you though that they are locked up inside my gun safe which is the best insurance I knew of until now. I will look into insuring them. Thanks!
