In years past I have used them to trade in a few riflescopes on brand new scopes from them with very good luck. However, I tried this summer to trade in a like new VX5HD on a brand new Swaro Z3 3-9x36 and never received a response using the trade in form on their website...not sure if they weren't interested in the scope due to having too many or what. It all worked out for me though using craiglist in my local area. I ended up trading for a like new VX3, not the VX3i, 2.5-8x36 and broke even on the deal. I liked the VX5HD besides the wide duplex looking reticle but prefer a smaller scope on my Rem 700 mountain rifle.
