These are the reference set at betterviewdesired.com
Anyone have experience with these?
What is a good selling price for NIB?
Thanks,

I had the 10x42mm Nikon Premier LX Venturers.
They were VERY nice and at least to me, were optically right up there with the Euro's. Exquisite optics!
The only negative I could say about them is that they were heavy, as compared to the Swaro EL's or Leica's.
Seems like I paid right around $900 5 years ago for them new.

I have a pair of 8X and 10X posted on various hunting websites and while everyone agrees they're great glass, offers have been few.
I just want to make sure I am pricing them correctly.

These sell for a little under $800 new. I have seen them for as low as $700 with refurbs/demos going as low as $600. I even know of one guy who claims to have bought a refurb 8x32 LXL for $450 though, I have never personally seen them this low.
I'm not sure but, I also believe that the Nikon warranty is non-transferable. The Nikon refurbs I believe receive a somewhat reduced warranty. (I could be wrong on this account.) Anyhow, I personally would not be willing to spend more than $400-$450 on this binocular used. I am, admittedly, a bit of a cheapskate so; I suppose you might get somewhere around $500-$550. If you find someone willing to spend more than that, sell it quick and run as you've just found one of those fools from whom money is quickly parted.... |

What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

The 25 year limited warranty may not be transferable, I am not sure on that however the 25 year No-fault policy still applies. It cost $10 and Nikon will fix or replace your bins.

I saw a NIB for $450 at a camera store in Portland, OR, this summer. Excellent optics.
