Pard008 from amazon versus ?

[aluminumfetish]

Do you guys/gals think that a Pard008 from amazon would be the genuine article ? Is this a counterfeit-able item ? Price wise, with Prime and as much as we order from Amazon, I feel comfortable with the purchase. Just curious if there is a "fake" component to worry about. I am probably just over thinking it. I like the idea of the Pard008 and have a little slush fund to make it happen. Anybody have experience with this unit ? Also considering Trigger Cam. I know the trigger cam is not a NV unit but I suspect it is a better build quality and perhaps a longer lasting item ?
I am not sure if this is the right gate for this.

Thanks,
Mitch

Ok you ask so I will answer you. This is my take as I can prove this is what happens for many items in the past from ebay.

Scope company has some china folks make his scopes. They need to make 10500 to make sure they have 10000 to fill the order and pass QC. Most of time since its from china they do not give to blanks about the company they just made it for. They will list it up as the item or ship it to a USA seller to sell on ebay. I know this for a fact I can have seen one to many scopes try to be warrantied to find out that serial number was rejected by the company that put in the order.

This does not mean its a bad scope by any means or that the seller is attempting to screw you. It could be they are a dealer. It could have nothing wrong with it. But most of the time when it is way less in money you run a chance of getting a raw deal if its broken.

I bought my Pard 008 from Amazon. The seller was listed as Pard, and delivered to Canada for free.
The article was genuine, but did take almost a month for delivery from Asia. Thankfully no issues with Customs, and aside from the waiting (the hardest part) the transaction and product were flawless.
