Second-hand sellers in London (1 Viewer)

[Hobby]

Hello folks,

Any suggestion for sites, shops, etc., to look for a second-hand 10x42 Zeiss, either Conquest or SFL in the London area?

Thanks

London Camera Exchange has a branch in the Strand and normally have a reasonable selection of secondhand binoculars. You may need to wait for the specific model you want to turn up, but Conquests at least are not too rare. If you give them enough notice and offer to pay for postage costs etc. they may be able to have items at other branches (in Guildford, Bristol etc) sent to London. Gumtree is worth having a look at, but probably 99% of binoculars there are going to be cheap Japanese models from the 1950s/1960s, maybe the occasional Zeiss Jena - only 1-2% are high-end modern binoculars. You may also want to put a "Wanted" post up - there must be a fair number of Birdforum viewers in the Greater London area and some might be keen on selling their Conquest or SFL for the next shiny toy I mean the next essential birding purchase!

WEX, Commercial Road, E.1.

Possibly Parks cameras.

I don't know if Microglobe sell secondhand binoculars.

Chiswick cameras?

Cameraworld?

There's a used binocular seller on College Crescent near Swiss Cottage (next to Richer Sounds). Google Maps lists them as temporarily closed, though, and their front window doesn't have many premium binoculars if any.

There used to be some in Tottenham Court Road, but probably no more?

Also Brunnings etc., but probably all gone.
