That having been said, it makes no sense to assume that if someone comes here and says they’ve had issues with Leupold and aren’t going to buy them anymore they’re lying.

Or even more illogically as your OP here implies, that they’re trying to bring down the price of your Leupold scopes on the used market.

It could be... just maybe... that they’ve actually had issues and want people to know. Or maybe they’d like Leupold to improve their product??

Just like you’ve obviously been happy and want people to know! (That’s for you!!!!)

So then someone points all this out and instead of reconsidering the assertions or at least implications of the assertions in your OP, you double down on your original “logic” that your ability to resell a scope means “Leupold basher’s” efforts (which again, don’t exist) to bring down resale on YOUR FAVORITE SCOPES “hasn’t worked”.

There. You’ve been walked through the argument here. If you’re a rational guy you’ll go, “oh I see” and reconsider.

Or, if history is any indicator, you’ll demonstrate the superiority of your point by citing how many scopes you’ve sold, for how much, and call me names.

My money is on the latter.


Good grief! crazy
