Binolux? (1 Viewer)

Has anyone ever heard of Binolux binoculars? The other day I found some for sale (the first binoculars I ever saw for sale in Guyana). I learned from a Google search that they are used mostly as promotional items ($1200 dollars for 50 of them, that kind of idea). I didn't look through them or ask the price. If they are any good and I can get them for cheap, I might consider buying one (just for fun of course ;)). If you have ever handled these binoculars please tell me what you think about them.
I don't expect them to be much good, but I'm curious because I don't often see bins for sale here.

Up to $40-50, yes if they are properly alligned; more than $50...no way!!!
I have an older Binolux 8x30 under the seat of my car. Mine is a budget bino made in Japan, decent optics. The new ones are probably Chinese.
Best test: look through them, and if you like what you see, than think about how much you would pay...
