Binoculars for rent in January
« on: December 09, 2013, 01:56:24 PM »
I am going to South Africa on a safari and am looking to rent a pair of good quality binoculars for two weeks.
I am in college so do not want to spend a few hundred dollars on a pair, but would be happy to rent a pair for a reasonable price.
Please PM me if you can do this.
Located in Queens
Thanks

Depending on your Morals I'm sure you could find a good pair for sale with a 30 day return policy, aside from that I've never heard of renting binoculars maybe contact your tour operator.

Not from a website. I wanted to borrow/ rent from someone who purchased one when Dan posted the good deal on binoculars. Or from another user who has a good pair.

In "that" thread there are apparently moral-less people. Maybe offer to make it worth their while to borrow a pair for you.

Sadly, someone may do that and then they will charge me to rent it from them.....

The lack of responses is not due to lack of price.
I will give $40 for the rental- assuming its a good pair.

"Please define good pair"
A pair that costs more than $200 retail.

"How much more than $200 retail? Will you give more if they cost $1000? What if they only cost $150?"
Ah good questions everyone  :D

I will rent them for a reasonable price.

Well you didn't offer to help before. Therefore your comment is unnecessary.
My posting was for people who wanted to help someone out; it was not directed at individuals who could analyze a post.

I may have misread the situation.
Lets start again:
So do you have binoculars that you would rent out?
You can PM me if you do and the price you are willing to rent them for.
Thanks
