my link mojo is very weak!

 

[thrusty]

I wonder if I could get $394 for a used one on Ebay if I said it was used by a Navy Seal? The price point is the only reason I don't personally have one on my GAP right this second.

 

[Beepy]

I was outbid!!

 

[tackleberry2000]

I seen that on when it started but didn't think twice about it. Was at 220ish but the 33 for shipping was a no go. I just clicked the back button and never thought about it again. It being in Hong Kong shoulda been a give away though.

 

[BigJohn141]

Oddly enough, even thoough it is in Hong Kong I dont think its a fake. It looks like a regular Atlas, non qd, that sold for almost twice retail.

 

[pmclaine]

Im goin to bring mine down to the New England Aquarium to put it in the close proximity of some "SEALs" and make a killin on EBay.

 

[Kasey]

LOL, pmcaine, just be sure to photograph it, otherwise it never happened.....wait, I saw Forest Gump shake JFK's hand, nevermind.

 

[J-Ham]

Well Kasey, imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery, though I doubt that makes you feel much better about it, haha!

 

[cjherrman]

Yea I second on the looking legit. But wow, the prices things go for still amaze me.

Wasn't that a sign !!!

 

[Kasey]

J-Ham, I could laugh about it but I know we will get calls and emails about failures on these fakes, we already get them on the "Accushot" brand scopes.

I guess we can give them the Attorney Generals address to return them to for repairs...

 

[J-Ham]

Hahaha, you guys are making scopes now too, Kasey?! Why was I not informed?!

 

[Kasey]

LOL, I didn't even know till we secured the trademark "Accu-Shot" then we got a letter from our scope division ....

 

[woogie_man]

There was a post on here not to long ago that shows the difference between a real Atlas and one of the repo's.
And I think somewhere in that thead it was mentioned that the makers of the Atlas had ok'd the repos for some reason.

 

[Redmanss]

They had me at "SCAH-H"... I drive my cah past the bah when I go to shoot my SCAH!

 

[Kasey]

woogie_man, if you get a chance read my posts on the thread you mentioned, hopefully you'll see the reason we did what we did. What is shown in that thread by the OP is a unauthorized counterfeit.

 

[Slick17]

That is crazy, Hope the buyer reads the other thread. If they did they would've been able to see that the knurling is inverted which is the give away that its a knock off.

Could be because of the conversion rate and how weak the US dollars is nowadays.
