80 or 100mm binoculars

Hi,

I'm hoping to get a pair of 20x80 or bigger binoculars. My budget is not huge so I'm not after top of the line ones. Is anyone wanting to trade up to premium binoculars and looking to offload their inexpensive ones?

No mount is required, I've built my own parallelogram.

I'm in Perth.

I might be willing to part with these large binoculars:

Celestron Skymaster 20 x 80.

They cost me about $450 over 4 years ago & I hardly ever used them.
They are as new.
I suppose it was an impulse buy.
I might let them go for $320.


cheers
Allan

I was hoping for something a little cheaper. Bintel and Andrewscom have $219 20x80s of reasonable quality and with freight plus currency conversion Celestron Skymaster 20x80s (though yours could be the older, high quality ones before they moved their manufacture to China and went for a more affordable price/quality) can be bought from USA for about $175, however I don't entirely trust them to arrive with their collimation intact...

I tried 2 other cheaper brands & they were out of collimation.
These binoculars are so good that I should really keep them.

I just got a good deal on a scope, so this won't be required. (Though if you do happen to have a 25x100 set and you want to offload them cheap, I'm happy to discuss!)
