Perhaps somebody has a counterfeit Leupold that they need a legitimate box to package it in?

I thought the same thing at first, but it's still not worth $300 to try to push a counterfeit. This just makes no sense, regardless of how you look at it!
 
Well the guy that's sellin must be an honest man, the auction has ended and the box is re-listed.
ebay isn't always a burn or a joke,,there are good folks out there. I have never screwed anyone fer nuthin on ebay. (70 sumpthin+ rating)
I got burned once with some computer parts the guy never sent, but he did it to several an got the boot, and we all got our money back,
,Paypal rules!! ;D
(plenty offered for sale here use Paypal, it's just a safe way to wire money)
 
Amen to not using pay pal!!!,

I've seen crap like this before on eBay... It's usually a group of people bidding up and buying a friends product... As winning bidder, you get to leave feed back... Basically what they are doing is building up one anothers feed back... This usually involves small priced items... Once the get they feedback built up, then they start listing and selling high price items such as laptops, etc...which they don't have!! They will list 10-20 high prices items at once, sell them, take the funds and disappear....ask how I know this!!! Beware of buying anything from a person that you see doing this... You'll get screwed...
