Don't know the answer. But one way to find out is look in the sales forums and see what the asking/selling price for them has been in the past.

It's a pain to sell ANYTHING right now...unless you are willing to price it to MOVE.

What Uncle Rod said... right now, it's something of a buyers' market, and while scopes traditionally retain a pretty high relative resale value, in today's economy even with well-maintained and "like-new" gear, you're likely to take a substantial hit if you sell right now.

Unless you need the money right away, try to weather the storm for a bit longer. I've hunkered down myself on what gear I currently have, and don't plan on selling or buying anything in the near future.
