I can't belive that people want to pay over $1000 for fake Swarovski Z6 scope: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301122638876?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

The only way to confirm would be a serial number check. Lots of Leupold fakes too.

''The only way to confirm would be a serial number check.'' It is not necessary, there is huge difference between genuine Swarovski Z6. Please see how looks magnification ring and genuine Z6 2-12x50 is without parallax knob.

UPC given doesn't match the reticle. UPS is for a $4 reticle; not 7A. Seller ships to virtually every country. Legit USA seller would understand the export limitations on optics.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Packaging ,Scope looks Swaro to me but he/she might just use that as a prop and then you might get nothing at all. The reticle as described in the description is a 7A but the seller is using Ebay descriptions which are almost always not accurate.

Ebay makes it difficult to contact them explaining the problem. Someone is gonna get f*cked. Or maybe someone will use it and not even know the difference.

I sent the seller a question, told him it was likely fake. Given the good rating he has and all the other crappy trinkets he sells, it's likely he got it at a flea market and has no clue if it's real/fake/etc and doesn't care.
