Valuation on 2 Optima scopes please?

[Snooper601]

Hi Guys,

I have 2 Optima scopes in very good condition, perfect clear optics - no scratching on the lens coatings and a tiny scratch on the eyebell on one of them.

One is the Optima 3-9x40 Wide Angle, gloss black and with the wide angle mask inside.

The other is the Optima 3-9x45 Moonlighter, in satin black.

Both made in Japan and were the 'Mutts Nuts' back in 83 when I bought mine. Both also have BDC top turrets.

I also have the original mounts, 1 set is low the other medium.

Any idea what they should sell for please? I have an offer at the moment but I need to be sure of the real value, for both parties.

Optima 3-9x40 WA
Optima 3-9x45 Moonlighter The scratch has been highlighted by flash and photo enhancement, you can't see it in normal light indoors, but it's best to show the only fault honestly.

I have no idea of the 'going rate' for these scopes. I do know I would happily pay £55 posted RMSD for the 3-9x40WA scope.

So I'd say that one has a minimum value of at least £55 posted.

I recently sold a very tidy Tasco 2-7x32 pre AG, dating from the early '80s for £50 so £55 for a similar aged/quality Optima (Hakko?) with mounts sounds a fair price to me.
