Does anyone have any good sites to search for used binos? I’m looking on eBay and our Rokslide classifieds — but where else should I be looking?

Trying to procure a set of 8.5x42 ELs with SV.

Rokslide, eBay, Birdforum, Cloudynights, Long Range Hunting Forum, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, B&H Photo, Adorama, Midway USA, Eurooptic, and probably a dozen more that I don’t know.

Thank you. I also searched FB and CL, but hadn’t considered numbers 315. Thanks!!

I have found the best deals on Facebook. Look all over the country not just close. I live in montana and bought a pair of swaros from a guy in Boston a couple years back.

I bought a really good pair of Leica's from Larry Chapman, the Texas bino man. He's on book face, but after 1 phone call he sent me the glass, and told me to pay him in 2 weeks if I liked em. He has some Swarovski stuff on fb right now

Thanks everyone! I had great luck searching Craigslist from a popular hunting city and they were agreeable to ship!

Watch the "demos" on Red Hawk Rifles and Europtics. Everything I've got from them have been brand new.

What’s his page on Facebook? The only page I have found had the last update in 2017, and his old website goes to an Asian porn site now haha

Good search terms in Google will find em...use something like FS WTS 8.5x42 EL bino.
Search daily. Prepare to be patient.

I just spent a TON of time trying to find a set of Swaro binos, so I’ll pass along a few spots I found with demo sets for sale. For what it’s worth…. I just bought the last EL 12x50’s that Natchezss had. I called and talked to a dude named Sam who was super helpful, and told me that he’s worked there since 02 and stopped looking at the demo sets a long time ago because they always looked brand new and had all the accessories still in the box 99% of the time.
