PM me if interested. Can arrange to take a look with no obligation of buying. Those who seen my stuff before knows that I kept my stuff in good condition.

EDITED:

Let me try the bidding style. The starting bid price is $300. Each increment is $15. Reply to the thread for bidding. Bidding closes on this weekend.

Thanks for looking.

Hi, lowered to $380. I can't beat the OEM price as I bought it from Orion USA. So this is the lowest I can offer. If there are no takers, I will close the thread in a week's time.

Thanks for looking.

Hi, please lock the thread.

Since I can't match the OEM price, then I better don't sell it. People interested in giant binos like this, can check out Grandeye Hong Kong for OEM price.

Thanks for looking.

$380 for giant binos with aluminium case is a very good price!

Great for comet hunting.

yes....good value
they are the individual eyepiece focusing type, which is better then the standard oberwerks single knob control type....

Can it be rest on tripod? it seems rather heavy Bino right?

I think the 80mm has a tripod adapter (the silver rod running in the middle) for you to mount onto a tripod directly.

Hi all, thanks for looking. You need a strong tripod, Manfrotto type at least. But the degree of movement is quite restricted. A parallelogram tripod is the best as you can even let people of different heights see the same object. And the observer can lie down in comfort to enjoy.

This bino is essentially 2, 80mm rich field refractor side by side. Star cluster views are stunning.

I can provide a dovetail plate to put it on Vixen style GOTO mounts, then you can have a GOTO 20x80 Bino!

Have a nice day.
