I paid $450 (Canadian Dollars) for a used Leupold Vari-X III 2.5-8 x 36 scope. It normally retails new for around $750, there are some ring marks but the optics are perfect.

I think it was a fair deal. Do you think I got taken to the cleaners?

Didn't get taken to the cleaners, but it's not THE DEAL OF THE CENTURY!!

They're $450 new here in the U.S. That's about $725CDN.

All in all, you got a great deal. Congrats.
