I got my TA01 for $699 on ebay back in March. The seller had a very high feedback, so I didn't worry one bit. Arrived brand new, as promised, in original packaging.
Go for it, just do your hw. |

These things just scream airsoft. I thought the whole point of an ACOg was a tough as nails illuminated sight?
I know eBay is run by some liberal gun hating hippes, but I can't afford to be picky at this moment in my life. I go in to buy textbooks and think "I could have gotten a case of xm193 for that price..." |

I bought a TA01 some 5 years ago for less then 400 bucks. if you can get a ACOG on e-bay for less then what dealers are selling them for go for it.

Cal's Sporting Armory offers TA01's at $685. TA31's for $915. RCO's for $985. Great service and better than the prices I found on ebay (except for the heavily used ACOGs).
Also, a guy from CSgunworks has a lotta posts from AR15.com customers who seem to be really happy with the deals he gave them. Hope you find what you're lookin for. |

Make damn sure you are getting a Trijicon product and not some cheap copy. I have seen more than one copy on ebay and called the sellers on them.
Trijicon ACOGs will have: The white tritium warning on them. Some copies don't. The cast "Trijicon" in the body of the scope. Most, if not all, copies don't. The main body and eyepiece are serial number etched on Trijicon scopes. Most copies aren't. Look for and ask for detailed pics of these things and your comfort level can go up a little. As for me, ebay has become to fraud friendly, so I avoid it. |

Since I just got scammed on Ebay I would say NO! Fortunately what I paid for cost less than #100, but I may as well have flushed it. The seller had good feedback too! If I'm really lucky I might get some back through paypal, but it will take weeks or months.

No kidding. Thats why I said they just scream "airsoft." They're obviously phony. I'm looking to save a few bucks on a real ACOG. I know they don't come cheap, but if I can get one for $650 instead of $1250, then I will as long as it has a warranty. |

They aren't all $1250. Being cheap is gonna get you nowhere. Good gear is expensive, but you get what you pay for. It also depends on what model you want. I use a TA44R-4, that I retail for under $800. I have never regretted it, but then again, I don't look for deals, I look for quality. i got my money's worth, to be sure.

There are many good sellers on E-Bay and twice as many bad ones. Just be cautious and you should get exactly what you paid for.

Seller feedback on eBay doesn't matter much if the seller doesn't know what they're selling. If you find an ACOG being sold by someone who ordinarily doesn't sell gun parts you'd better ask for detailed pics and have them clarify their return policy. Otherwise you're asking for trouble.
Around here eBay drop off sites are popping up everywhere. You can bring your stuff and these people will list it on eBay-their fee is usually a percentage of the final selling price. If a titanium_platinum_super_whizbang_powerseller doesn't know the difference between the real thing and an Airsoft knockoff it's probably because they're selling it for someone else. They can only repeat what they've been told by the (dirtbag) who owns the thing. |

Ebay works to take away your gun rights, and Pay Pal is part of it. Why even consider doing business with them?

yes. I have bought and sold thousands of dollars worth of stuff on ebay.
1. be skittish. ie: check feedback, ask alot of good questions. 2. if you don't like it, don't buy it. good deals can be had, but you have to know when to walk away. 3. don't forget #1. I have bought electronics, guitars, classic car parts, and sold similair items as well. Perfect feedback is what I expect. I have only given negitive once. It is not a normal thing. It is something to be concerned about. |

keep an eye in the equipment exchange, there are a few acogs that pop up that are in the $650 price range. there are also compact acogs that are in or below that price range. hell you might be able to even buy new for that price |

Would I buy a real ACOG with documentation from a reputable source on Ebay? Yes.
Would I buy one without documentation, or a Chinese knockoff, from ANYWHERE? No. |

Keep an eye out on the Equipement exchange. Check it daily, there are deals to be had. I haven't looked at the ACOGs on ebay but I've checked out the Eotechs a few times. I think they are bit expensive on ebay. I've gotten some amazing Eotech deals on the EE.

I wouldn't. I try to avoid E-bay at all costs. I did buy some ALICE pack parts. But you can't really go wrong there. Most car parts are OK as well. Expensive scopes that are readily copied is alittle to shady for me. Unless I actually wanted a cheap copy...

Had a friend buy a fake. Looked great. Went to the range and it needed to be ajusted. Tried to remove the caps on the adjustment screws but they were not caps. They were a solid piece. No adjustment. Went inside and the air was cool and the thing foged right up. Tried to wipe the lens with a lens cloth and it fell out. Not even an o ring holding it in. Just crap.

I have found "online auction" is unsatifactory in my personal experience. First, products are routinely described in glowing terms only to arrive looking like picked over crap from a garage sale. Then, if you say you'll give negative feedback good sellers will "work with you" [lengthy, time-wasting, delicate process], and bad sellers will give YOU negative feedback for saying the truth.
Also, if you do the "proxy bidding" ("put in the maximum you'll pay and let "us" bid for you...", trolls will jack your bid up to your maximum by bidding in the smallest bidding increment allowed until their bid equals yours (you'll win because you were "first in time") or they'll stop when your "proxy bid" wins by less than the bidding increment. At that point, they know what your maximum bid was and they'll stop bidding, leaving you stuck at your max bid. Check out the bidding history on different auctions and see how many times someone will ratchet up the max bid increment by increment then stop. Also, try to call the "online auction" today and see if you can talk to a human... Nobody there? Just like I thought. |

I did.
The seller had good feedback, and the scope was as described. I paid much less for a TA-11E than I would have from SWFA or any other vendor. |

Our price are very good when you order from us you do not only get the item you get someone that will help you out with the optic if you have question, problems, or to help you determine the best setup for your style of shooting you are doing. There are many good dealers here that think the same way!
Way go anywhere when you can go to CS GunWorks.com!  LOLwww.csgunworks.com [email protected] Here’s some testimonials about CS GunWorks for AR15 Board What do YOU have to say about CS GunWorks |
