Listing title: "Vortex Optics SPR-1303 Spitfire"
Description: "Brand: Unbranded"

So which is it? :p
 
Bought a 1x here for around $150 NIB. Sits on a s&w 15-22.
 
Seller is going to say they misplaced a decimal point on the price and likely have to refund money is my guess.

 
I just bought one with PayPal. I’ll let you know the good, bad or ugly. I like a cheap mystery box to give my son in law for a Christmas gag gift.o_O
 
I ordered on, put it on my PayPal/Amex. Can always send it back and get a credit, who knows, even if its a decent knockoff it will go well on my spare AR.
 
Hacking accounts and listing stuff stupid cheap then not shipping anything and you waiting for eBay to accept the listing are fraudulent is not uncommon.
 
I just received the same eBay email as above. Luckily, PayPal had not yet sent the money, so I cancelled the transaction. Darn, no cheap ass knock-off gag gift for Son in Law:cry:

For ALL online shopping transactions, I use either a credit card with a $200 limit or a local drugstore gift card for items that are more than $200 that are preloaded with the exact amount of money for that purchase.

Just in case cyberthieves DO compromise the card info... Have fun with the 30 cents or so that remains on the card...
