Any updates on Vortex Viper Spotter from Amazon

[Columbus Bowhunter]

Funny I placed my order on 3/13 as well, but did NOT receive the email others have discussed. Anyone else in my camp?

My order hasn't shipped Amazon told me their CS person was mistaken and there is no ship date available for the spotter. Personally I don't think we will ever see these.

Wonder if Vortex could give any information?

Just leave it alone! If you need a spotter asap, order one for full price. Otherwise QUIT bugging them.

I ordered mine on 3/13 and they sent a message on Saturday asking if I still wanted the item.

Sheesh Frig off Lahey...just trying to follow up since I probably got everyone excited last week.

I was told by Amazon it was shipping today. Got clarification that the person who told me that was wrong via email..

Bahahahahaha. For our patience they are upgrading us to Swaro spotters.

Any word back yet? I was in contact with Vortex over the past couple days and they got back to me stating that this was an Amazon sale and if anyone was responsible for honoring the price and fullfilling the order, it would be Amazon.

I think (hope) Tman was joking, as drawing Amazon’s attention to a bunch of guys waiting to cash in on this deal would only reinforce Amazon’s position if they decided to cancel the sale and say it was an error. Bugging Amazon is only going to draw the wrong kind of attention to the situation.

Why would Vortex have anything to do with this situation at all?

Half-way agree with this^^^^^ BUT I'm sure all parties involved are aware of the situation.

I don't think it was a sale. Amazon's pricing is largely moved by algorythm's based on trending prices on the web. it was an accidental pricing. I bought my wife a brand new Darton bow for $150 shipped. I went to order another one the next day and the price was up to $399.

Yes I was joking!! If I were you guys, I’d stop bugging Amazon and posting about this though!!

I agree

My guess is they will stall it out for a while hoping that people will drop it.

Back to the original "a-ha" which was in the first thread someone noticing the product number was for a Crossfire 6-24x rifle scope. I see spotters all over the place on websites so the stocking issue for those seems less likely. Is it more likely that the "stocking issue" is trying to trickle in a model of 6-24x scope that isn't in the lineup any more?

I think its them trying to wait us out. I'm also less inclined to let a "pricing error" go when they've sat on it a month+ and sent a email asking if I still want it but that's me. While the model number is that 6x24, the model number of the spotting scope was in the title description (at least on my order) and the specs (weight, dimensions etc are all the same as the spotter). I saw there is one company that has "order filled by amazon" that just came in stock but that's different then "sold by amazon" so the wait continues. Lucky for me I have till next season '19 to wait them out

Does somebody have a link to the original post? I can’t find it.
