JUST BOUGHT A "NEW" VXIII 1.5-5X20 ON EBAY FOR $225 + TAX AND SHIPPING, BUYER HAS GOOD RATINGS, SCOPE LOOKS TO BE A LEUPOLD BUT IS LISTED AS "UNBRANDED" AND NO BOX OR PAPERS WERE PICTURED NOR MENTIONED IN THE LISTING. FOR THIS LEUPOLD THE DEAL IS "TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE" SO I AM WONDERING IF I GOT SCREWED, OR IF THIS SELLER HAS "OPEN BOX" CLOSEOUTS FROM A BIG RETAILER, OR IF THEY ARE "BLEMS" OR WHAT? FIGURED "FOR THE MONEY" I WOULD TAKE THE RISK. SHOULD COME IN NEXT WEEK, WILL REPORT BACK WHEN ITS IN HAND.

I've always been a little leary of deals that are "too good" but if the seller has a good rating I've had good luck on ebay.
So it's a reasonable gamble. Good luck!

There are a lot of counterfeit Leupold scopes out there. Hopefully it is real and legitimate

I read a long thread about fake Leupold on the 24HC and they pointed out a couple of “tells” these fakes exhibit. Might go there and see if you can find the thread.

That's my thought.... Leupold knock off, but by saying "unbranded" they're covering themselves when you figure out it's a fake.

LOTS OF INFO ON THE INTERNET ON HOW TO CHECK A SCOPE TO SEE IF IT IS A FAKE OR A GENUINE LEUPOLD WHEN YOU HAVE IT IN HAND. SOME INFO ON THE MOST COUNTERFEITED LEUPOLD SCOPES AND SOME SELLERS TO BE WARY OF. MY SELLER DOES NOT FIT THE PROFILE OF A COUNTERFEIT DEALER BUT UNTIL I HAVE IT IN HAND I AM JUST HOPING AND PRAYING.

I wish you luck, but if they have it listed as "unbranded" they've covered themselves from Ebay's perspective should you contest things.
Don't forget, ebay will also remove negative feedback when you can prove to them it was done maliciously or in bad faith or incorrectly. You have to take feedback ratings with a grain of salt.
$225 for a brand new VX-III? Definitely too good to be true, I guess you'll find out.

JUST SENT A MESSAGE TO THE SELLER SAYING IF IT WAS NOT A GENUINE LEUPOLD I DID NOT WANT IT AND WOULD CONSIDER IT A SCAM SALE, NOW MORE WAIT AND SEE.
