Where do I sell my Swarovski scope?

I need a bit of advice. I am reluctantly selling my swarovski AT80HD (angled) with 20-60 eye piece and stay on Skua case. It is a great piece of kit but I just don't get the chance to use it much these days and reckon I will use the money I raise to buy one of the smaller Nikon fieldscopes.

Question is where can I sell it? I would try ebay but not sure that that is the right market - I have been checking and there are so few scopes for sale on there.

Any advice?

You might be able to part exchange it. I know In-Focus do that as I've used them before, maybe others will do that as well.

Thanks Paul. That maybe worth a go.

Hi I have just sold a Swarovski 80 STS with no eyepiece, just a skua case for £602.00 on Ebay then sold the eyepiece (20x 60 zoom) seperately for another £101.00 . note this was not the HD version scope and they were almost 4yrs old.
If you put quality items on ebay they will get found.
regards Ray.

you won't get much for part exchange. I have the same scope and love it! Try a local Wildlife Trust, they will often sell them for you and charge you 10% of the selling price that you set. I work for my local Trust and often sell my gear this way. If you happen to be in the Essex area give me a PM.

This is a great bit of kit some sites do have for sale sections this scope is also very good for digiscoping, I am sure you would have no trouble at all getting a very good price.
