Im in the market for a new one, I don’t want to go over 300-400 bucks, does anyone have any recommendations? Right now I have a busted 400x lol

I mainly look at mushroom spores and plant life, sometimes insects.

Used medical equipment suppliers. Ebay.

Gene I was just on eBay, they got lots of scopes at really good prices, I have 3 picked out, im trying to make up my mind what one to get. Thanks

You are quite welcome. Just look over the seller feedback including what they were selling or buying to build feedback. Been using eBay to buy and sell items for several years and am very happy. Still there are some problem buyers and sellers.
