That's not likely as big a deal as it sounds, but that reputation definitely puts Eotech sites a long way down the scale on the used market. Personally, I wouldn't pay more than about $150 for an XPS Eotech. Less if it wasn't in great condition. A G33 magnifier in good condition would be worth $300-$400.
The buttons on the rear of the XPS series makes them poorly suited for use with a magnifier. IMHO, you'd be better off buying the used G33 and getting an Aimpoint PRO to use it with.

It's a package deal more than likely. Both are in great condition. So your rough estimate used value for both would 550ish?

Would the recall still apply to second owner? Or is there some weird fine print

That's way, way out of line for an RDS that has always been the red-headed stepchild of the firearms optics industry, and given their recent high-profile negative publicity is even further in the dumpers than it was when the $400 Aimpoint PRO was their biggest problem.

He paid full retail for them. I'll have to keep looking. May just get an aimpoint.
