Swarovski ATS 65 : acceptable price ? (1 Viewer)

[benjaminH]

Hello everyone ! I need help again !

In your opinion, what would be a good price for a used Swaro ATS 65 spotting scope with a 20-60 eyepiece (excellent condition ; year 2019) ?

Thanks in advance !

I have an opportunity for this model at a price of 1700 euros ( = 1900 dollars = 1450 GBP)...

Is this price OK, or should I try to negotiate?

That price seems high to me. I see them come up quite regularly in the UK for under £1200 with the 20-60 zoom.

Incidentally, and forgive me for seeming opportunistic, I have one that I was thinking of selling but not in any rush so haven't listed it yet.

Mine was bought new (scope body) in Feb 2024. It still has almost 9 years of manufacturer's warranty.

I have a 2006 20-60 zoom in excellent condition that was recently refurbished by Swarovski (received back from Austria in Jan this year). It looks almost indistinguishable from a new one to my eyes.

I'd be looking to sell both together for around £1200 (but would also consider splitting) but as I said I haven't got round to putting it up for sale yet.

I assume only more recent ones would come with the 25-50x wide angle eyepiece? Comparisons between the standard and wide ep would be useful. Not sure if a 65mm. (More compact and carry able) or an 80mm (brighter, so easier to run at higher power) would be a better option.

Thanks for your feedbacks ! It seems the seller is willing to make an good effort towards a fairer price. So thank you very much Steve for your offer, but I will conclude on my side with this first seller.

Hi, out of interest, is this still available for you to sell? If so, is it an angled body?
Thank you

Hi Lee, yes it is still available and it is an angled body.

Send me a direct message if you want to discuss further.
