Anyone know where to find the value of a rifle scope?(links are great)

I've searched the internet all morning to end up as puzzled as when I started.  The scope is a BSA 10-50x60mm with a 30mm tube, and has the side focus/parallax adjustment.  The scope was made by Nikko in bulk and sold to BSA for marketing(mostly through MidwayUSA in the 1999-2000 time frame).

Can not find any on Gunbroker, SWFA, Midway has been out forever, and I just have run out of options.

Your numbers are throwing me sdb777.

It's a variable eyepiece zoom 10 to 50? power in a 30mm tube with a 60mm objective?

It's the scope that's mounted on my 50BMG.

10-50x60mm with 30mm tube....correct!

MidwayUSA was nice enough to actually review my account(didn't know they kept records that far back).  The actual write up prior to this item being discontinued is at the following link: http://www.midwayusa.com/rewriteaproduct/370704

Once one has been installed on a rifle value drops according to my  dealer.He had a customer with a Kimber 22 rifle & scope that he wanted to sell because he didn't like the kimber after firing a few rounds thru it so my dealer gave him the $900 he wanted he told the seller scopes are only $100 when installed.The Kimber 22 rifle new was $1425+ & when he told us about his purchase I told him the Schmidt & Bender scope was worth over $900 not $100 so he kept it for his collection. For Schmidt & Bender scope info & prices go to http://www.newenglandcustomgun.com
