Is this deal for real?

[Chris Shades]

I found a leupold Gx-3 rangefinder on ebay for approx $30 and free shipping? I had to see what the deal is here and went ahead and purchased.

 

can anyone check out this link and tell me what I might have overlooked and that I fell for a scam?

Zero feedback and shipping from unknown Canadian location? If it seems to good to be true...

[SteveL1]

Hmmmm.... sold 54 so far with one day to go. Too bad we can't wait a few days to see if you just bought an empty box or actually got the reall thing.

lol I know! I probably just lost $30, but I was too tempted after seeing how many purchase's were made. I'll reply back and let you guys know if I get a box full of anthrax from a golf hating Canadian instead of a rangefinder.

It's so cheap it's almost worth losing the $30 just to see.

Maybe that's the genius behind it?

I saw that previously and decided that it could not be true. No feedback, cheap (ultra), newbee, and in another country. I purchased the GX3i for $314 from another seller.

Very interested in what you receive, if anything.

I bought one because I wanted to run it through to see the sellers info, there is none. The seller is not a registered member of Paypal, so I canceled my transaction.

BTW, yesterday he had sold around 50, and today he was up to 80.

[dasbill]

If he's not a registered PayPal user you can't fille a claim then can you?

[Guia]

How did you pay him if he is not a member of paypal? Did you give him your credit card number or what?

I checked out through e-Bay, which took me to Paypal, where I completed the transaction. Then I went to the details section of the transaction and discovered that Paypal lists him as "not a registered user". So I canceled the transaction. The funds were unclaimed, so I had that option. For those who rolled the dice, is your payment unclaimed?

[Guia]

Good play.

Kind of sorry though, I was really interested in what he had or sent.

Here's the deal though. I can still complete the transaction if word comes down he is following through!

[chas521]

Maybe it's only me but bells and whistles go off when I see a $300.00 item being sold for 10% of its value. I am looking forward to further posts regarding what people who ordered actually received. You have to wonder if it's that cheap optical rangefinder that measures via the flagstick pin?.

*Last Update*

Just got my refund from ebay through paypal. Didn't expect to get any money back so I'm happy. Now I'm gonna save some pennies and buy a real range finder.

As long as people want to believe that people sell things to lose 90 cents on the dollar, people will always get ripped off.

P.T. Barnum was correct.
