What's my scope worth?

[Timmis2]

I have a 10-11 year old Leupold scope that was discontinued around 2018. I think I paid around $350 new back then, and I see only 1 for sale anywhere (on eBay now) priced at $799. I have no idea if it's worth more I paid or if there is a demand for it. It's not a very common scope purchased because it's a scout scope, but I wonder if the eBay seller knows something I don't or if discontinued scopes hold higher value? (I messaged the eBay seller but he has no obligation to help me).

If anyone can point me in a direction to get it's value, that would help me. It's a Leupold VX-2 1.5-4x28mm VX-2 Scout mfg# 119621. You can still find the listings on Midway and Optics Planet but they are long discontinued.

I'd say that a Leupold VX-2 1.5-4x28mm VX-2 Scout mfg# 119621, would be worth around $150. Scopes, like anything else, loose value over time, with use, unless it's a real collectable classic.

$150 if in as new condition. But at auction like Gunbroker, who knows. Could go as high as $300.

 On Gunbroker - sold items around $230 but different power. GB

Penny auctions @ GunBroker, seem to do well.

Why not list it here, on this website. GB

I saw the same scope sell on another forum the first day it was listed for $500 this last February. I think there is more value to this scope than normal due to it's build quality before it was discontinued and replaced with a lower quality build and price point. The VX line (VX-I, II, and III) changed to the Freedom line which is a budget line, or so I interpret.
