Hey guys I'm doing the quest where you make a selfie camera and got 2 of 3 materials but am lacking a standard scope. Anyone know an easy way to get one? I checked the AH and it's going for 950g in Area 52 which is insane lol, surely it's not that rare or something if a quest needs it. Thanks!
It's a player crafted item, so folks can charge what they like. The fact that it's required for a quest drives up the price. And since it's a quest from a couple expansions ago, probably not a lot of people making it any more, which also increases the price.
You could look up the mats required to make the scope, acquire those items, and then try to find an engineer to make one for you. Maybe someone in your guild would do it?

It's made with low-level (Classic) Engineering, needs a bronze tube and a moss agate. The bronze tube is made from two bronze bars, which is smelted from a copper and a tin bar. Stupid easy to make, and frankly anyone who's had the profession since then probably has several bronze tubes stuffed in a corner of their bank, but the ores and bars should be far cheaper from the AH if you don't have Mining available.
The moss agate can be trickier though. It's found when mining tin and silver and can be prospected from tin with Jewelcrafting, just not as often as the other gems. But again, usually it's more affordable to buy than the item crafted with it.
Before the level scaling, another alternative was to farm the first couple Boxes of Assorted Parts found in the first area of Gnomeregan. It's still doable, just have to be a ways past 60 now.

Thanks for the replies guys, I finally got the materials for the standard scope. Does it have to be a player engineer or can an NPC also make it for me?
Has to be a player.
For the sake of completion, I forgot that the supply vendors near the Engineering trainers often sell bronze tubes too >.<
It's a limited supply though so they only sell a couple at a time and you have to wait a while for more to be available, but it only costs a few silver. If you already bought copper/tin/bronze, you might check one of those vendors anyway, and if they have one you can relist the stuff you bought in the AH and get some or all of your gold back.

Wait a minute. Once again we are sent on a search to classic for junk items. To lower levels. Is this an AH scheme. Do engineers really value this stuff? Moss Agate? This is from dreanor right? I'm confused.
you can make a new toon or drop a prof and take engineering. the item is very low level and easy to make. i think you only need about 150 in engineering
