Nikon has their refurbished binoculars on sale, some of their great Monarch HG series listed below. They also have ProStaff series, but I would recommend others (like the Vortex Diamondback HD) if trying to buy something lower priced.
From my personal experience, their refurbished looks nothing more than taking a new one and placing it into a plain box. Excellent, new condition when purchasing HG 10x42 a few years back.

You seem to know a lot about birding lenses and I don't, so just wondering what you thought of the monarch 5 - 12x42.
My current binoculars are bushnells and cost about $35 but they're 7x35 and I hate them, although they are better than the even crappier ones I had these.
The zoom isn't enough and they often go out of focus. For my birthday. I decided to treat myself but not sure which is best. I was leaning towards the monarch but didn't realize there were so many variations.
I'm looking at them for birding in my backyard, trees and shrubs are 20 to 50 ft away (not counting height of trees). I'd love to snatch these up since they are a good deal but want to be sure they are the right ones for me! Thanks for any assistance!
