Here's an add that is currently posted on a local buy/sell website:

Features:
- Circle-X Reticle

Retail $250 asking $180 or best offer
thank you

That exact same scope retails NEW for $89.95 and this guy wants $180 in a private sale!!!!! I responded to the ad and offered $70 if its new in box with receipt, but I got no reply. Go figure I hope nobody gets duped in to paying $180 for that scope

A fella I work with gets a kick out of reading ads on Kijiji for things like a Pentium 2 computer for sale for $500. He emailed one of these people and told them they were crazy selling a paperweight for that price. The guy replied "dude, I have 2 people who want to buy it".

Remember what Barnum said.
