Not sure where this should be posted ....
Ok whenever anyone asks about a pair of bins or a scope they usually get told to try the optics first. However the qualifier from some folks is to "then buy it at the cheapest price you can get".
Now uhm is this ethical? The good folks who provide you the opportunity to try the product may not be the cheapest. If we all go and buy from some website, what will we do in five years time when there is no where to compare in the field the latest optics?
No doubt some of you will think I'm daft buy buying hifi has taught me you have to audition your kit. And my opinion of the a bin will be different to Birdman's which will be different to digi birder etc etc
Whether it's ethical or not, it's the way of the world.
I'll readily admit I'd pay the least possible price I can get away with, just as my employers will pay me the least possible wages they can get away with.
Bought my bins from a dealer who visits reserves £700, two weeks later same bins in a magazine £520, canny profit margin which would u prefer to pay? has the dealer any ethics?
