Price is what determines if something will sell most times.
And think about supply and demand...it would seem the supply is very high but as one could expect because of the weather demand is low.
You mention $1000 below replacement..if you are talking about a $10000 scope that is not a big reduction..if you are talking about a $1500 scope well that is a big reduction...
What did you pay? How long ago? What are you asking for?
I see many adds where the asking price seems most unreasonable with the seller exhibiting an attitude that they simply cant lose a cent and do not factor in they have had good use out of the item being sold...others are offered at a fair price and mostly they seem to sell.
From my experience in Real Estate sales if a property was over priced the vendor would not see much traffic and never get an offer.
You need to be priced to sell as someone buying second hand is looking to save money and get a bargain.
