Nikon 100/1200 on the bay

[DaveL59]

Wow this one looks to be a very nice scope tho I've no experience of them nor relationship to the seller

Sadly out of my price range.

This may be a fake advert, @John reported a very similar one recently. The true value of this scope is way higher than the starting bid. The text is almost word for word the same as in the link below. The pictures are the same.

It may also be genuine...but I doubt it. Nope, it's fake, I'm sure of it. I deleted my ebay account only the other day, so I'm unable to report it. If someone else would be so kind...

I'll report it again when I get a moment.

I suspect it will keep popping up though - they don't seem to give up easily

Blimey! It was only on Tuesday that John posted this

oh my bad then, I'd not tallied John's previous alert with my first trawl around the bay this morning.

No problem - I've reported the one you spotted as well now.

Trouble it, I suspect more will follow

thanks John, perhaps worth merging this one with your original thread too.

Same scope (same pics) on eBay again now.
