I can't see anything wrong with his listing. It's only people who aren't taking his word for what he says in the initial description that are asking questions. After all- what part of ...

"This Sniper Scope is being auctioned in [as is condition] with no reserve. In its present condition this Sniper Scope is suitable only for display purpose's, or could be broken down and used for spare parts. I have been advised this Sniper Scope can be refurbished to good working order, but at great expense."

.....are they having trouble understanding?

I don't think Peter's comment was as much to do with the description, as the rabid response from bidders over something that is described by the seller basically as junk. The seller obviously tried costing repairs and decided it's not worth it.

Yes, it's auction fever at it's worst!
PS- I have no connection to or prior knowledge of the seller, but I do take my hat off to him for answering the questions as best he can.
