I said to heck with it and bought one. If it’s fake I’ll report back but that’s been full price in my cart since last year and my cart said item price changed. The bino’s are $500 too

If you look, every items that company is selling is 500$. Even items that should be a fraction of that or way, way more. Seems like most likely there is a problem with their account, software issue. If it actually goes through and is real good on ya.

Title: Re: Swavorski for $500 on amazon
Post by: Oh Mah on March 31, 2020, 06:42:05 PM
Canceled mine.after fully reviewing i think there is something up with the body itself,I don't think it is all Swarovski.look at the tripod mount.look at the incomplete grooved end.The description says that this spotting scope comes with the Swarovski 20x60 eyepiece,that eyepiece alone is $579.That tells me the body is crap and reduced price on eyepiece.  :twocents:

And its from costsl wood factory.  Look at reviews.  They make bowls and rubber band guns and crap like that.  Even get bad reviews for that.  Buyer beware.

It will be interesting to see how this ends up.  My son and I both jumped on the deal....he got the last one.  I have returned many items to Amazon over the last 3-4 years, so I'm not too worried if I feel the need to return it.  They always take items back, with no questions asked.

Definitely a software glitch.  Go to their Amazon storefront and every item is $500 and only 9 left.  Less than 9 if someone has jumped on it.  Think Amazon will honor the deal on Coastal Wood Factory's behalf?

China makes some pretty incredible fakes, if they sell 1000 they might have 800 returns and still make a pile of cash.  I was at a fairly remote market a year ago and came across a guy selling Leupold scopes that looked really good.  He was also selling blue and black Chicago Bulls hats.

The funny thing is that some of the fakes aren't so fake.  I visited a factory once where they made name brand stuff during normal hours and then at midnight some guys would show back up and crank out some more for the secondary market.  Fake, but real at the same time.

This same exact thing went down about a year ago on Amazon with Nightforce glass, little oddball seller who had nothing to do with the product they were selling, everything was $500, they sold out real fast.... don't remember anyone showing of their new scopes afterwards..... I know mine never came..  :rolleyes:

No need to "blow up".......just send it back.  We bought a 6'x10' area run on Amazon a while back.  When we got it the colors were way different than the picture.  Just rolled it up and sent it back.  Amazingly, the credit was on my credit card the next day.  Amazon never asks why you are returning something......they just take it back.
