Did any of you bastards score any of these??? If so, you suck...I was in such shellshock from missing these deals, I had to purchase a like new Eotech 511 for $300 for my instant gratification fix!

JFC. i would have snapped that up in an instant.

 

[the_shootist]

I'm always a day late and a dollar short on these

 

[icyclefar]

Why am I always the last to know?

 

[Da_lucche]

I cannot recall how long I was stuck in front of my monitor waiting for the next $161 deal...never came lol.

That AR15.com thread is hilarious. At the beginning, people are posting amazing deals on optics from Tier 1 manufactures...by page 100, it has degraded to $10 off CLP and batteries.

If this was purposely done by Amazon, well done, as they probably had all the neckbeards on AR15.com ordering for 72 hours straight LOL.

Oh my lord. I might have to go through every single optic on Amazon and set Tracktor alerts, just in case this were to ever happen again.

Welcome to the club! I guess these were just random, find them if you can price drops...had nothing to do with their Lightning deals. Trijicon RMRs were going for 91 bucks. C More optics were going for $45.

Obviously, somebody at Amazon made a mistake in pricing.

Trijicon clearning them out? If it wasn't them selling it I'd be pretty skeptical of buying one.

From what the guys on AR15.com say, Amazon has honored the pricing and some have already shipped. If it was a mistake though

Just missed out on the Aimpoint for $.01.....

Looks like all the cheap Trijicons were old stock that sat for too long and Amazon was dumping them.

Why are ACOG's so expensive?? I guess I'm just not operator?

 

[Reptile]

They hate the color red.

The red ones were $162, the other color colors were $1000.

 

[Smokewagon]

I always miss the awesome.

yeah, that would be a deal breaker for me, def not shelling out 162 and going with green for $1000

 

[nickortizzle1035]

Holy crap. I would have bought as many as they would have sold me!!

 

[Gillham]

Some dude got Armasight Gen 3 NYX-14 that sells for $3000 for $490. Delivered. He posted pics.

 

[soloman02]

FML. Why do I always miss out of killer deals like this?

 

[Synyster]

The RMR and C-More deals were hot as well. Plenty of NV and bows too.

 

[JayMcB]

wow, just....wow. How the f*** do you get in on deals like that? NV and ACOGS. I would have maxed my visa and bought an optic for every rifle I have.

 

[Terminator03]

You and me both. Just had a "spirited disagreement" with my wife about these optics when I mentioned buying a few if this type of thing ever came up again. She said that was a stupid waste of money and they probably weren't worth even the $162 they were asking. Let's just say, I would be begging for forgiveness rather than asking permission knowing how short sighted she is on these matters.

 

[Gillham]

OH you so punnnny

 

[Serapis]

That's crazy

 

[Synyster]

Guy on there got a $370 PVS-14..

 

[gearwhore14]

Absolutely ridiculous.

Sent this to your wife. Hope the doghouse is heated! Lol

I tried since the 9th to grab some of these deals and it was near impossible. These guys had the filters and everything down to a science. An RMR deal would pop up and be gone within seconds. I had a few items in my cart at one point and went to check out only to say they were out of stock and back at reg price.
