I posted an EOTech EXPS3-0 w/ 33 Magnifier on Armslist this morning (its also on here in the classifieds = shameless plug) and here is the email chain that resulted form my post. This screams scam to me, first off it is an optic /w magnifier not a firearm so it doesn't need to go through an FFL, second why would an impaired person who cannot make or receive phone calls want my phone number let alone an optic for a rifle, and in my original post I specified cash or POSTAL MONEY ORDER not a certified check. Anyone else reading scam also?

Good Morning Larry, Yes this is still available, The lowest I will go is $1000 for FtF, if you desire shipping I will have to add USPS Priority shipping so total w/ shipping will be $1025 , remember shipping requires postal money order and I will ship the item the same day I receive & cash the money order.

Yes I am the first owner, I have had them about a week. I have not mounted them or anything, just took them out of the box to look at them. Things came up and I am in need of cash rather than a toy lol.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply concerning my inquiry.. $1,025 is a good price for this item...I am quite comfortable with the condition and price of the item but due to the nature of my health, I can not make or receive phone call as I am Impaired. I am also willing to pay for the shipment ..
I want you to hold it for me before any other interested person. Please provide your full name, Address and your Phone number so that I can send your payment. I will be paying you by Certified check. It will take 2 -3 days for the payment to get to you...As for delivery, I will make arrangements for the pick-up after you have received payment, If this meets your approval, kindly get back to me, as soon as possible, with your name, phone # and mailing address where payment will be sent, so that I can make an arrangement on the Check.
Note: As soon as you have your money in hand, we can talk about the picking up of the item. I would like you to take the posting off Arm list today.
I am willing to provide a FFL address to ship to so that you will be sure I am not going to possess it illegally.
Best Regards....
Larry.
