Bought an essentially brand new T-2 a day or two ago for $550. If I'd have been willing to take a T-1 2moa vs T-2 2moa micro, I could have scored a flawless T-1 for about $475.
I'd be a fool to pay $200 more so that I can take the cellophane off the box.
That said, I've only ever bought Micros, and NF glass used. Those are the only two optics that I trust to be both bombproof, and have companies that stand behind their products regardless who the original owner of them was.
