eBay kowa deal

Followup:
I threw out a crazy low offer on this and it was accepted. I feel like I stole it. Now I'm paranoid that it's going to have issues. I have have 30 days with free return shipping so we'll see....
Well don’t keep us in suspense… what did you get it for?!

I was thinking of doing that and then if I got it coming here and trading it for something that I want, but, wasn’t in the mood to burn a G or more today.

Yeah. What did you get it for…..

Thanks for sharing. Will look for more like this as well. I've had some good scores off ebay lately
 
He can’t tells us. Then there’s a record and he can’t flip it later….come on guys.
 
Excuse my ignorance, but is there any clones to look out for on eBay in regards to Kowa spotters? Kinda suspicious when a seller is from Japan(I know the glass is made there)

I'm not aware of any Kowa clones, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. All Kowa's top tier optics are made in Japan. Except for rare occasions, I shy away from deals where the seller is offshore...but I sure have been tempted a few times.

The seller offshore is what I was eluding too. Seems like good deals….. but skeptical. I’d be interested in your 88 if you want to Pm me
 
Not to be Debbie Downer, But there was a ton of fake Leupolds on there a couple of years ago. A good friend bought one, I almost did . He showed to us, The gold ring is different etc. He called Leupold and they told him it was not one of their serial numbers. Their CS told him when in doubt call them with the serial number and they can verify it. That said he is still using that scope and has not had any issues .

I thought about doing the same. If it would have had an eyepiece I would have. I just didn’t want to have to spend another $750 on the eyepiece. Hope it workd out well for you and you can find a good deal on an eyepiece somewhere.
 
This one has been on eBay for a while now, I keep seeing it come up when browsing. I just assume it must be a scam or fake…
