eBay Romeo5

[aznboi87]

Just found a bunch of Romeo5 on eBay for $75.

For those who’s going to be all “nick picking,” don’t worry I already have signsauer customer service ready to help me identify if it’s real or fake,
And if it turns out to be fake, eBay will take it back with their buyers protection program within a month.

Why go through all the hassle of contacting SIG, submitting return with Ebay, go back to post office, a month to get your money back, etc... just to save what, like, $20? Seems pointless IMO.

Romeo5's normally sticker for 199 (dealer cost is 109), so at 75 - it's a tempting price

If they're legit and in good order, good on OP for getting a deal. I'm not gonna be mad at someone trying to make the most of their money.

$119 at PSA, in stock, brand new, from a reputable dealer.

I'm certain I've seen them for $100~ish during holiday sales.

I don't get trying to save $20, for something that is more than likely fake or an open box / damaged return.

If the dealer cost is over $100 and these are $75 what does that tell you?

As someone who has had an EBAY account since EBAY existed i've learned that if it sounds too good to be true it's a scam or the product is a knock off.

I suppose that I'm missing what this thread is supposed to really be about.

In other news, caveat emptor.

Doesn’t hurt to save $20. I have a usps next to me. Most of the time they deny return and eBay still refund my money so I don’t even have to make a trip to usps.

I will guarantee those are knock-offs. Do not buy.

The normal low retail on those is usually around $135 +/-. I've bought at least a half dozen of them, including one fake(from Fleabay). Look at the seller's feedback. Read their negatives.

One dead giveaway is sheen and sharpness of the angles on the sight body. If they are sharp edges, fake. If the finish is shiny, fake. It helps to have a real one to compare to though.

Check OP's classifieds add for what's sitting atop the AR he's looking to sell.

Still trying to see the point of the thread. Not seeing why he'd cast doubt by posting this one.

I value my time a lot more than saving $20.. PSA @120 as mentioned before and the holidays are coming up for more savings..

If you're retired with a lot of time on your hands then by all means, have at it.

Not worth buying one on Ebay or Amazon, and risk getting a fake one.

Exactly

But if eBay gives you money back and you don't have to return it you have GAINED a bb gun optic.
step 1:profit

Your welcome. If they need reasons why we know its counterfeit,
The fonts don’t match
The emitter does not match
The ocular rings do not match
Serial # is out of sequence.

actually no.
I purchased two sig sauer Remeo5. First one was from Amazon and was confirmed by SigSauer it was authentic.
the 2nd one I bought was from Ebay on september 27 which was "questionable" for $75.
If you followed all what I posted you'll see the one I purcahsed from amazon was nearly a month ago, and that's also when I listed my gun
but yah I returned the amazon one, so I am about to remove that post and sell rifle only with the magpul furnitures with ironsights to get my $130 back from amazon.
I already give up any hope of any one actually on here going through the classifieds looking for guns since they can always find one cheaper online.

you should look at the date when I posted my AR for sale, and the date when I purchased thie "ebay" knock off.
