Weird Radian ?

I am getting ready to make a trade at the local scope shop, and the local dealer will end up owing me money! The best way for me to come out ahead is to take the $ out in merchandise. I was going to trade him for a pair of 16X70 Fuji binos, but turns out he sold his last pair.

My new idea is to take 3 or 4 NIB Radians in trade and sell them on AM. The only Radian I need for my collection is the 6mm, and that is one that is out of stock. My question: what are the three or four most popular Radian focal lengths? I would want to get the ones that would be the easiest to sell. Anyone have an idea?

Failing this, does anyone else have a suggestion on several TV EPs that would be really easy to sell on AM? I will have $700-800 in credit.

Thanks,

Gordon Gower

Gordon,
I believe next to some of the Naglers, the 24mm Panoptic seems to sell the fastest. It seems like not too long ago the 16mm Naglers were selling in seconds but I think that's slowed. Of course the 20mm and 31mm Naglers are perennial favorites that sell quickly.
Hopefully you can figure a fair mix of these to even your balance.

Hey Gordon,
The TV Plossls seem to sell fairly well also just not a as good of a % of the orginal price. Seems like the longer Focal Length go the fastest and bring the best price. The common ones in mid FL seem to take longer.
