Title: Purchasing Binoculars from USA
Post by: Rural Outpost on January 10, 2011, 04:45:37 PM

A long shot but worth a go.......I would like to purchase a pair of Olympus 12 x 50 EXPS binoculars. I am led to believe that binoculars are cheaper in USA ? I have a friend visiting from New York soon so am trying to identify where in New York sells Olympus. So far I can't find any web sites for New York, there must be hundreds ?? Anyone aware of any such websites  selling them ?
The cheapest pair in UK I can find is £119. Any help much appreciated.

Regards

I have now received these binoculars after a friend brought them over the pond for me. Cost me £90.00. I am very pleased with the purchase, the clarity of them is fantastic. I  certainly recommend them.
