    wwiimuseum.com website selling cheap!?!?

    I need help to shake some sense in my thinking and knock off my possibly willful naivete. I came across a site while scanning the google news items that are shown when I tap in the google icon in my smart phone.
    I must have been an add for what is being listed as mostly "original" old military surplus edged weapons, memorabilia, pre-smokeless powder handguns, etc., even a k98 Mauser stock from a site that seems to be called wwiimuseum.com. The items on this website are selling cheap, with nearly all priced at $12.85 despite the referenced "original" price (some, if truly original, would normally sell in the low 4 figures $).

    I am probably suffering wishful thinking and these prices do indeed appear to be too good to be true...meaning it is probably a scam

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Even the page it comes on is a scam.

    You can sometimes get genuine bargains on the internet if you are careful. It's not always a scam and sometimes you just have to pay, keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best.

    The site possibly is too good to be true if that's what it looks like, unless it's Father Christmas. I haven't seen it.

    Not everything that is cheap on the internet is a scam.

    Fake as it can get. I copied several sentences from one of the item description which included a serial number into a google search. It took me to the IMA page of the exact same item. Avoid this scam at all costs.

    Thx Dodge ,
    I was going to dig deeper this morning when I found what I thought was the site, but had some chores to get to. Looked like great deals with prices slashed from $2995.00 to $29.99
