• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Top of the line Fujinon Techno-Stabi 14x40 (current model) Binocular for sale.

Model TS1440 Serial # 125885.

Purchased new in 2020. This was purchased for an offshore voyage that did not take place. It has had very little use. Always stored in case with batteries removed. I previously owned the Nikon stabilized binoculars and the performance of this item far surpasses it and (in my opinion) justified what I paid for it: $1,395 (plus sales tax). Now for sale with its shockproof, waterproof case, batteries and cleaning cloth for $950.
Location Tacoma/Gig Harbor, WA

Have been looking for a set. Please confirm these are the TS and not the latest model TS-X. Thanks
 
Hi, Yes - confirm. I was not aware there was an "X" model. Mine are TS 1440 Serial Number 125885. I have the original Warranty sheet stamped by FOI Inspection 8/30/2017 (but I purchased new in 2020).

People knock stabilized binoculars until they use them. I have an ancient Nikon set and love them. My wife always said she didn’t want to use them and she used the old 7x50 set we had. Until she used the Nikons one time. Then the 7x50s never came up to the bridge again…
 
Yes, Comodave. I also had the Nikons. Sadly after too short a time the rubber became tacky and unpleasant to use. I have not had issues with the Fujinons, however I do take much better care of them I confess, they are always kept in the case with the dehydration package in place and batteries removed.
 
I have had my Nikons for 24 years and no problems with them.
 
Pay attention to the advice about removing batteries when storing the binocs. F-ing duracell batteries ruined my Fujinon binocs, same model as the pair you are selling. It was an expensive mistake. I haven't met a Duracell battery that doesn't leak...
 
Twisted is right, those batteries will ruin a good pair of $5000 gyro's in quick order. I have a pair of Fujinon Stabiscopes, with 2 sperate battery packs to avoid that problem. Good feedback!

Be aware that Duracell and Engergizer both have policies that may replace items ruined by failed batteries. now if you left them in there 10 years they might not cover but I have had some expensive items including a $200 flashlight replaced for free by Duracell when their batteries failed and caused damage. Worth contacting them with pictures and documentation if you still have.

(but yes, put a reminder on your phone or in a log when you replace batteries and don't leave them in there forever agreed).

And don’t buy Duracell batteries.
 
PRICE REDUCTION. I am dropping the price to $850. If they don't sell for that in a week or two I will keep them!

My move to Florida in 2005 coincided with my introduction to destroyed by leaking batteries. I've had kamikaze attacks by both Duracell and Energizer (and Costco brand that are likely one of the other). I figured it was the heat and humidity compared to San Francisco and Colorado. Maybe not.

Having tossed many a Maglite, I've replaced with USB-C rechargeable flashlights with LFP batteries. Hopefully putting leaking batteries in my rear view mirror.
