A couple of poor bastards have come into the store with those wanting them mounted. The hard truth never sits well with them.

There's a dealer on ebay doing the same -- and he KNOWS it is a fake as I politely pointed it out to him over a week ago. Honesty is obviously not his strong suit LOL. dishonest seller

I told the seller it was a fake. He said he would verify SN with Zeiss, otherwise he said the listing is staying up.

It's not even a good attempt of counterfeiting. Not just the scope, but the box graphics too. But I guess if you've never seen one up close, you'd never be the wiser.

They'll read your conversation and stop him from cheating anyone else.

Yep...he said he'd "put in on a rifle since it's a nice optic." A week later, it was still up. So I messaged again and was told it's none of my business.
I reported it to ebay and got this reply: "We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy. This determination was made by a customer service agent."
Ebay does not care as long as they get their fees.

I told him I'd buy the box for $2, and he can throw the scope in the trash. Doubtful a response will come.

I wonder if an email to Zeiss with a picture would help. Zeiss might not take that stuff too kindly.

"You have been told by a number of people that the scope is a fake. If you cared to exercise diligence, it'd be easy for you to see. By continuing to list the item you are engaging in fraud, and defrauding someone for that amount of money may rise to the level of a felony."
