Does This Deal Smell Or What?

[albayo]

I was looking at a few Canadian sites and saw an add for

Original Zf41 scope + scope container for $320us.

I think this is too good to believe, what do you think?

there reproducing those things also now. seen one at Calgary show last year. and it was identical to the real one in apparance.

Betting on a repro or a ripoff

Numrich Arms/Gun Parts Corp in NY sells them as repros.

The seller is in the UK and selling on a Canadian firearms site --- sure smells fishy to me.

There are a lot of "too good to be true" items on that site... buyer beware!

My bet is a repro. I think your fish detector is working properly.

I was at a gunshow about 10 years back and managed to pick up an original for $80.00 Bucks. Had to break a 100 Dollar Bill that Day.

Anyone selling online, knows how to use a computer well enough to know what it's worth. It would be different at a garage sale, or even a gun show.

Caveat Emptor pal.

There is at times lots of $4,000.00 1971 426 Hemi Cuda's (fully restored) on Kijiji and Autotrader.

The scams go on and on and on.....

I just wanted to bump this with another caveat emptor warning about "that site". Although I can no longer find the ad for the ZF41, I believe I recall the seller's name was hornblower1994. This was just posted:

It goes without saying that if a deal looks too good to be true, be very suspicious...

+1 to that. Scams will keep on comming.

Hornblower1994 is a known scammer. He's in Poland, takes your money and ships nothing.

Is another of his alias's Pavel norvolk not sure if I spelt the last name correctly but he is bad, Bulgaria or Poland, deals in a lot of SS cloth and German accoutrements, takes photos of other peoples legit stuff and claims he owns the stuff.

His name is Pawel Nowak and he is apparently Polish. He has been scamming for years and the only thing that has slowed him down were collectors passing the word around. I know for a fact there are at least a few people in Eastern Europe looking for Mr Nowak, and that is not a good thing for him.
However, there is much speculation that "Mr Nowak" is actually more than one person, a group of scammers, actually. He has branched out from German militaria to Japanese, US and pretty much everything else.
