Amazon.com Leupold scope listing.. all sorts of wrong

Listed for $542 + shipping- goes for $330 from MidwayUSA. Listed shipping weight is 17.9 lbs. I pray nobody has ever paid this much for this scope.

But it was marked down from $591, so it's a steal at that price

Did you notice the shipping weight was 17.9 pounds?

But it's a Leupold, it's gotta be worth that much.

These Leupold scopes have gotten really heavy! Must be one solid piece of glass inside a lead tube..

The one review on the listing is perfect, and succinctly says it all:

"1.0 out of 5 stars Don't be a sucker, October 21, 2009

(REAL NAME)
A Leupold VX-II 2-7 x 33 typically sells for around $300 to $350, depending on the finish and reticle style. Don't get ripped off by this vendor."
