I think over half of the Leupolds on Ebay are the Chinese knock off crap ones, some even being passed off as real ones for top dollar. I don't even look on Ebay for them anymore.
It's kind of funny because I joined up on here looking to upgrade from my silver Vari-x II that I've had on a Browning Stainless A Bolt I go back around 1990. I never even noticed that Leupold quit making the silver scopes because I haven't been interested in getting another one. Maybe after seeing this thread I'll look to maybe get something back out of mine instead of just keeping in case I ever put it on a stainless .22.
