GS911 on eBay: suspiciously low prices?

Hi All,
I’m not looking for the usual caveat emptor, I know the eBay risks. But there seems to be a constant stream of them for sale at around $250-300, from sellers in Asia. Are these knock-offs, stolen-being-resold, or are there a huge number of these things simply entering the market from there?

(Some sellers are low-numbered but some are pretty high-volume movers.) I’m reluctant, but their prices are approaching 30% off retail. Tempted to believe someone’s ripping off the plastic cases from the manufacturer, and jamming some random parts in there, and selling overseas.

Worth the risk?
 
i have seen a number of reports of Chinese knockoffs of the GS 911. I would consider them junk with no known reliability and certainly no upgraded firmware or other support. Call the Beemershop and get the real thing.
 
There have been reports in the past of people getting burned by counterfeit units.

Look around, and you might be able to get a used GS-911.

I picked mine up for $150 from a friend at work. He said it had two VIN numbers registered to it. When I registered the unit with my own name, the record was wiped clean and I have the full 10 VIN available.
