    Not sure where to put this so, here goes. What could I expect to get for a very nice Leupold VX-3 4.5-14X50 scope? Matte finish and very good condition. There are a couple of small nicks on the scope and I tried to show them. No ring marks, and no scratches on the glass. It has the Mil Dot reticle like the lower one in the 4th picture.
    I want to list it but don't know what to ask for it. Thanks for any help you may have.

    $400-$500 is a fair market price if in excellent condition.

    Not for that scope. 1" tube, SFP, with 1/4 moa turrets & a Mil-Dot reticle.
    In todays market, that's probably one of the worst spec'd scopes you could buy. It's 1970's technology in a 2020's world.
    Leupold makes a nice hunting scope, but putting a ranging reticle in a hunting scope is kind of silly and only uneducated scope buyer's would buy one set up that way.

    $200 - $250 would be my estimate.

    I tend to agree. Leupold site says $499 new for the duplex version. $350 wouldn't be bad, but not a fab deal. IMO.

    Most used scopes bring around 50% of their New price for scopes that cost under $1k.
    The top tier scopes like S&B, March, Nightforce, etc., usually sell for 2/3 of their original prices. I usually pay around $2000 - $2500 for a $3000 - $3500 scope used.

    A good indicator is seeing what discontinued scope models sell for brand new. Most can be bought for 35% - over 50% less than their original prices.

    I agree txhillbilly. The last Leupold I bought was and ar mod series that were selling for right at 40-50% off retail due to discontinuation.

    Although an odd reticle choice, you can't go wrong with a Leupold. GLWS geezer.
