How can binoculars be 'not tested'? I can understand it with something hi-fi that needs plugging in to an amp or needs loudpseakers to be able to hear it work. I'm told that there are strange people in the world who actually don't have this sort of kit just lying around the house, weird though it may seem. But Binoculars? What? The seller didn't have time to take a quick look through them and confirm that things did indeed appear to be closer?

Martin the seller new damn well they were buggered, they were his own from new, he wasn't a dealer selling stuff on.
He had unscrewed the lenses to clean them and cross threaded one of them when he put it back together it has a very very fine alloy thread and it was stuck, wouldn't come off. When you looked through them the image was out of tilt as one lens was at an angle you couldn't focus an image.
I did manage to fix them, It took a bench vice and a chain wrench to get the thing unstuck, boy was it tight. Went back together without a problem and I still have them a couple of years on, work perfect and are mint. But I shouldn't have had to do the work.

Too much spare baffle area and not enough cones, for my liking…
They just weren't trying with that particular model…

Agreed they aren't going to worry Macca's but are probably not bad considering the price... I reckon they'll sell for under £30.
