New Binocular Bargains Thread (1 Viewer)

I’ve had several friends buy through Greentoe without problems. The people who are apt to rate these services are the ones who had problems so usually these ratings are not indicative of the actual percentages of bad results. All anyone has to do is use a service like PayPal to protect themselves. Any legitimate Credit Card will provide the same protection. People here have made nasty comments about Dvor based on ratings but no personal experience with them. Same with CampSaver. I’ve bought through both several times with great results. Some Chicken Littles on the board.

I guess so. They must have realized they were selling them too cheap, or they got a lot of hits on them. They are still a bargain at $1399 though.

73 people out of 95 had problems with Greentoe. If I was a gambler, I wouldn't bet on those odds! If 73 people out of 95 told me the sky was falling, I wouldn't take the chance going outside. 😁

Yeah it was no big deal, I will definately use them again. The nice part about it is the retailers are vetted and for optics, only OEM Dealers w/ new Warranty are represented.

It's a clever way to get around the OEM distribution agreements on price setting.

Probably only a matter of time until the OEMs develop a way to crack down on it, but for now it seems win/win with very little risk exposure.

Yes, I know. I used to get Swarovski's and Zeiss binoculars at about 20% discount from Varuste.net, but no more, so they must have gotten busted because they are right at retail now.
