    EOTech's on eBay, Why Soooo Much Cheaper ?

    Hello All, I'm getting ready to purchase some optics for my SOCOM 16 & Colt 6920, & am leaning towards an EOTech XPS2-0 for the Colt. As I was checking prices, I noticed that some EOTech models were selling ( via "Buy Now" ) for a great deal less than on some of the major retailer's sites. For example, I found a EOTech 556.A65 for $490, new, ppd. At BoTach ? And that's just one example. My concern is, are these "lower cost" examples up to date, full quality models, or is there something I should be aware of ?? ANY input or comments on this issue will be very much appreciated. THANK YOU

    Best, dpast32

    Botach generally has pretty good prices and are reputable enough that it's highly unlikely you'd get a counterfeit. OTOH, Botach is also known for selling items that they don't have in stock. Buying from them is a crap shoot relative if and when you will actually get the item in your hand.

    As to other places, especially typical ebay "vendors", counterfeit Eotechs is a very real possibility.

    There's a lot of reviews about them. The can offer great, hard to beat prices. But as previously stated, they might not have the item in Stock.

    I've ordered from them twice. The first order shipped promptly, the second had to be canceled because the m4s was on backorder. They didn't tell me that originally.

    Botach has the worst customer service I have ever seen. I wouldn't order anything from them even if it was free. They will sell you something they don't have. They don't bother answering the phone or email if you have any issues. Save yourself some agony and deal with the already vetted quality dealers on this site. I wouldn't risk using Fleabay, especially with all of the airsoft replica crap out there.

    SKD Tactical just had a pretty good deal of the day selling Aimpoint Comp M3 w/ mount for under $400.00. They are sold out now but will probably run that again in the future. Palmetto State Armory also has deals on the Aimpoint PRO for under $400.00 as well.

    When I was in Iraq I routinely bought desperately needed shit from Botach and it always arrived. Having said that I wouldn't buy from them unless I was desperate.

    Too many other good vendors. I would also think long and hard about the EoHell.

    When ordering from Botach always call or use live chat to verify the items you want are in stock. It took me close to a year to get a $49 refund.
