For anyone who wants a good quality pair of binoculars, the Nikon Monarch 5 10x42 is now under $300. They were already very cheap before the eBay sale at $368. There is a very good reason these are probably the most popular bird/butterfly watching binoculars in the world-they are very affordable and very good quality. They have ED lenses but do NOT have an anti scratch coating. The Monarch 7 has an anti scratch coating but cost over $200 more for the anti scratch coating and a little wider FOV.

At this price, it's pretty much unbeatable for entry level quality binoculars. Usually they are more expensive than the Vortex Diamonbacks and Bushnell Legend L series.

  Thanks FiftyCal, just bought some for a Serengeti Safari. Didn't expect to be buying Bino's today that's for sure.

    I just bought a pair for hunting. Didn't expect to buy them today either, but decided to take a look.

    I've been following the price of these for about 6 months and anything sub 450 is already a pretty good price. Sub 400 is uncommon outside of that listing. Sub 300 seems to be unheard of

      Funny how you can use these for both sides of looking at wildlife lol. Thanks again for the deal.

  Are the Prostaff 10x42 comparable?
  I bought my dad a set of the Prostaff 10x50 https://bit.ly/2FA78RR for $252 after discounts.

    The Prostaffs are decent but a step below. The Monarch 5 have ED glass, whereas the Prostaff do not.

  Great price, and completely agree with op about these binoculars, they're the most common for birders, until they decide to shell out $3000 or so on a pair of Swarovski binoculars. We bought ours from a 20% off Ryda sale some time back, but No Frills is cheaper on this 20% off sale.

    No Frills is Ryda's eBay store

  Wow sweet deal. Snagged one for a trip to the Serengeti in a few months. You really can't beat that price and added a small additional item to get TRS on the deal to make it even better.

  I spent $100 on an Olympus 8X25 PCI about 2 years ago. It's for bird watching. I would like to upgrade but I'm too cheap.
