Well after looking a long time and driving to different stores, I found a pair on ebay that caught my eye. New swarovski slc and el's were out of my price range, so I was looking on ebay and the slc's are going for around 1,200 to 1,400 used. I found a pair of 08' 10x42 slc's and bid on them, set my high at 1,100, well I got out bid and moved on. A few days later the guy that was selling those got a hold of me and told me the other guy backed out and if I wanted the bino's he would let them go for 1,150. Long story short, I was able to get them for 1,000. The pictures show a nice pair with no defects and using paypal I feel comfertable with the sale. I called swarovski to check out the serial number and everything was good with them. After months of looking I'm really looking forward to my used, new to me, pair of swarovski 10x42 slc's!!! Never thought I'd ever own a pair of swarovski's, can't wait to look through them. I'm really glad I was able to find this topic and for the review that was done here, again thank's for your incredible review!!
