S'G' Ebay Flip Sight

[ChipS]

I know that now may not be the time to bring this up but I didn't expect the below auction result. Assuming legitimate bids, three bidders are sure it's the real deal and three appear to be on the fence. I think it's a $20 Shanghai special but I'm not a real expert. What say the Forum? ChipS

I bid on his WRA dummy rounds, but wouldn't have bid on the sight. The pin staking doesn't look like any I've seen. For some reason, the "exposure" of the images is way off and I don't believe shows true coloring. - Bob

Recent auctions for fake flips have been $171, $265, $270. All were for sights costing $150 out of a catalog I'm told.

I say it was Real !

Very much so!

[tenOC]

Looks real to me.

Yes real, very light in color [ maybe the camera flash or lighting ] but the color does make you wonder, especially when it's expensive.

Looks real to me.

what about Kate Upton???

[tenOC]

Only seen her in that one commercial on horseback. She looks fat to me. Not that that's a bad thing.

Regarding the S'G' sight, there won't be another one as nice as that come along for years.
