Another garage sale grab

[greenwellg]

Same seller where I grabbed ammo last time. He had a nice scope. Trijicon Accupoint 5X20X50 Mil Dot crosshair green dot, 30 MM tube. Reciept was in the box sold for $860 retail over $1100.
I did some research and the reviews looked good. He was asking $400 and would not budge. I went to Bass Pro's website and ordered a closeout Ruger Predator in .308 NATO for $499.
Then I traded the home made extension cord I brought with me and traded that for a can of loose ammo. He had a fan with just no way of connecting it to power.
In the ammo can was a couple pounds of loose ammo.
110 rounds of MilSurp .308 NATO
200 rounds of loose 22 rimfire (some needed cleaning)
10 rounds of .30 Blackout (5.56 case necked to .30 cal)
6 .30 carbine rounds
2 8mm Mauser dated 1943
1 .357 mag (nickle case)
Close to $160 for the labor to properly splice two 100 foot extension cords that were broken.
Great discount on the scope.

Wait, I'm confused. How did that go again.

 

[greenwellg]

Paid $400 for the scope.
Traded the 150 foot home made extension cord for a 5.56 can of loose ammo.
My cost on the cord 0 my labor earned me the ammo and can. Worth $150 give or take.

That's better, I already forgot what I had for breakfast. true.

And, not a Partridge in a Pear Tree in the bottom of that ammo can too...?

If the Trijicon scope had the receipt, I'd probably be OK with it, but these things are faked like CRAZY by the Chinese. These fakes used to sell for $40 or so new.

Somewhere around here I have one that I took off of a rifle I bought several years ago... I am no expert on these, but I can certainly tell where a person can get fooled quite easily if they didn't handle them all the time. Mine even has a QR code on it, that if scanned, it takes you to Trijicon's website.

That comes easy doesn't it? I'm in the same boat.

It's real as they come complete and never mounted on a gun, flawless condition reciept dated 2013 to a guy who lives on Mallory Blvd, Hampton, Virginia absolutely complete. China could never build a fake this nice. Marked made in Japan but then that could be fake, here is the box end label. Got a nice $100 Snap ON top box out in the garage. They are not easy to fake either. Current best price new, over $1100.

Here is the whole package including the business card of the store in Georgia that sold it, even including the 1.5mm Allen wrench for repositioning the adjustment knobs when it is mounted on the gun that is coming as of this post. If you look you can see the variable adjustment for the tritium light enhancement for night vision, No batteries needed, If the Chinese can fake this, they will rule the world selling it for $40. The faked one is not even close to this model. This was top of their line in 2013 handwritten receipt with buyers address on a road I drag raced a 383 Formula S 1967 Barracuda coupe on that same road over 50 years ago.
