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?
