True dat. I had to really fight to get a refund on the eBay $200 compressor scam. Citi bank finally came through but eBay and PayPal were useless.

Seller seems legit as he has good feedback and sells other related products.

so did the last 2 seller's that were scammers. they find ways to manipulate ebay's member profile feedback and even have stores you can go to.

but, maybe this one is legit......i will bite when someone receives there item. ;)

Peter,

I had researched rangefinders last year, and the CHEAPEST you could get from China was around $80, nothing cheaper!!!!! Now the cheapie he lists is a plastic unit that sells for that price all over ebay. The other two models are in line with the pricing: $70 or $90 for the longer range model. Photos show it to be a plasticy, but that should not be a problem as new plastics are pretty tough.

A lot of us jumped on that $15 on the bugbuster scopes last year, and it took up to two months to get our money back!!

Seller is 98.7% with ONLY 155 trades.

Let us know.

Cheers

The one for $16.03 seems to be just a cheap monocular.
There are others like it on ebay for $15.00.  The reviews are not good.

The $67.63 and the $90.64 seems to be about the going price for cheap rangefinders.

Do you mean measuring distance by changing/focusing   parallax at highest magnification and read the distance from parallax  ring ?

No, a lot of us went ahead and ordered that scope for $15, just in case it was a legit deal. Turned out to be a scam, but it took some of us a long time to get our money back!

The $46 (6x) and $90 (6x) Laser range finders shown are likely for real.

The $15 (7x) range finder is not a laser range finder. It is a stadiametric range finder that is designed for estimating the distance to a target of a specified size. You must know the target size. They are mainly designed for use on a golf range with 7' high flags. It functions like a mil-dot scope but has the calculations built in. You can do the same type of range estimating with your mil-dot scope if you know how to use it.

Wait a minute Marine! You telling us you can't figure out short ranges?
 ;)
If you want a good laser range finder I have one here I will give you on one condition.
You must tell everyone an Army ParaTrooper gave it to you.
