Title: New Leupold 3-9x40 Scopes on eBay for $114
Post by: bobcat on January 24, 2018, 01:14:16 PM: Great deal on eBay if you hurry. It's $142.69 with free shipping, then eBay has a 20% off code you can use to bring it down to $114.15.

Post by: bobcat on January 24, 2018, 01:27:55 PM: Not fake. Look at the seller's feedback and location. I've purchased at least one Leupold scope from the same seller a year or two ago.

The price isn't even that unbelievably low. It's the 20% discount that really makes it a good deal. You can buy the same scope from Optics Planet right now for $170.

Chinese counterfeits are flooding EBay for great prices, but they are scrap junk with no lifetime warranty like a real Leupold does. EBay encourages this crap by not shutting the sellers down regardless of complaints.

See link below for an example.

What brought this to my attention was a coworker who's wife thought she got him a great deal on a VX-III Leupold only to find it was little better than a kids toy.
