Is this a troy industries rear iron sight?http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RZX062/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details

Are you guys serious. I just bit the bullet a purchased thinking it was troy sights. We will see when they arrive. Why are some of the prices what a troy rear sight would cost then?
Quoted: SCOV-BRC-30FT-00 is for rail covers. looks like a mistake |
|
The description says it is for the sight. I would be raising hell if I got anything different. I would certainly save a screenshot.

Yes, I can read So if someone was selling this: 2012 Hyundai Accent SE The biggest news for the Genesis sedan comes from the addition of an entirely new performance model: the 5.0 R-Spec.

Remember when Amazon had PS3s for $30 each? So out of the hundreds here that ordered one or four ,how many of you geniuses actually got one for that price? None? shocking |
|
So their are two vendors selling at this price optics planet and Metroplex Trading Company.
Is it possible that both of them made the same mistake? |
|
List Price: $164.00
Price: $34.57 You Save: $129.43 (79%) Hell of a typo here too... |
|
I got a great price on a Bushnell Elite Scope from amazon many years ago. I'm pretty sure it was an error on their part, but they honored the price.

It's certainly possible that both are selling you airsoft knockoffs I'd say it's unpossible that dealer cost on those sights is anywhere near $35. |

So you have never seen a retailer place the wrong item for sale in their circular, only for them later to say "Sorry, we made a mistake, we can't sell you _______ for $y.yy"? |

The description is for a folding sight,that pic is a fixed sight. So actually out of the title, pic, and description none match up with each other.
|

I contacted Optics Planet and let them know of their mistake (what any honest ADULT would do)
I also informed them that the ad has made its way onto internet forums, and to brace themselves for the upcoming temper tantrums when people try to scam them out of $120 worth of product. |

You may not like it, but that's how this sort of thing works. You don't have to be a mind reader. You merely have to be capable of basic critical thinking. If your argument is that you lack that ability, good luck getting your sight or rail cover. |

optics planet has the 3pk of rail covers for that price. that is obviously a screw up.
they show the sight for. 163.99 |

Search things like Invicta Watches or go on Steep and Cheap. Shit sells for far less every day. If OP gets a rail cover, he can ship it back on the seller's dime and get his money back. Blaming a buyer for a seller's fuck up is absurd. |

Also that the descriptions within the advertisement are for both the sight and the rail covers. It is perfectly reasonable to infer that something is wrong. It is unreasonable to assume this is a sale and the contradictory wording within the ad is only there for fun. Notice how nearly everyone in this thread is reacting by saying "something is wrong" or even "that's the wrong SKU" or even yet "that price is way below cost?" Those are reasonable responses. "I'm gonna buy this now and scream bloody murder if they don't give me this sight for $36" is unreasonable. Again, you may not like it, but that's because you're being dishonest. Not because you genuinely believe Amazon wants to sell that sight for $36. Admit it. Do you really believe they intend to sell the sight for $36? |

If we are talking about honesty, do not misrepresent what I am saying. I do not know if they are intentionally selling that sight for that price. I don't even know what sight they are selling since the pictured sight is not selling for $165 to begin with. I am saying that the seller is responsible if they sell the OP a set of rail covers for $35. They can not send them and not charge him, or he can send them back at their cost and they can refund his money. As for the SKU, expecting the buyer to identify items by SKU is unreasonable. |

I assumed the product was being discontinued because of lack of sales or maybe the retailer was liquidating this item.
My intent was not to "rip off the company" I remember someone posted a link to a handgun camera(don't remember the specific name) but it retailed for somewhere around $500.00 and was being discontinued and sold for somewhere around $100.00. |

Quoted: I assumed the product was being discontinued because of lack of sales or maybe the retailer was liquidating this item. Really? Because I would assume it probably costs the company at least $35 to MAKE this product. |
