this is news to me; great info. trustworthy place is the site sponsor.

I totallyagree! 


I use to sale on ebay years ago... but got out of it  due to all the fakes showing up for all the products that I was selling at the time, which made us legit companies look bad. So I pulled the plug on ebay.

wow great info man. It just gose to show diffrent things to look out for, because unless you know most people think its the real deal.

I work for a fragrance distributor, and unless you know the product you can never tell its fake sometimes. just gose to show people dont care anymore they just want your money.

Makes me scared about any other product...

Eibach sportlines what if they were fake and almost everyone has those on there Lancer lol. (Not saying there all fake, just certain ones, from certain sites)


again thats just a WHAT IF.

Its just so scary to buy name brand things on websites and you might not even know if they are real or not


Off topic, but I used to work for a clothing store, well I dont want to name brands, but the company was name brand, very famous for its brand, and that same company would make knock offs of there clothes, and sell them for cheaper.

The knock off's were very crappy, but kept the same look as the normal clothes.

Thing is, say there normal price was $100 bucks, well people would buy the knock off for $80 but the quality and everything sucked, the company new people would buy it because its the same thing and cheaper than the real kind. What the consumer didnt know was that they were buyiing from the same company, so either way, they were making money, a lot of money. The Knock off shirts were made for $2.35.

BE CAREFUL ON WHAT YOU BUY

[Camaro69car]

Differences in price? and do they handle the same?

[ethanchris]

Thanks for the heads up!  Great info...sucks to think that people may have bought that crap really thinking that they're getting a good deal.  Beware!
