Counterfeit Electronics??


Hello,
I was listening to the Clark Howard show a few days ago, a consumer advocate. He was talking about a new wave of counterfeit items, which includes electronics and the fact that you could hardly tell them from the originals. This is only half a story. I was almost ready to buy a used Krell on ebay. I called Krell with the serial number and guess what? It wasn't in their database!!! WTF?? I was on the phone with them for about 20 minutes, they kept checking on that serial number. They also said that they had a lot of parts stolen and apparently assembled by someone else! Have you guys heard anything about this, and how can we make sure that what we buy used is legit?

We havent't seen anything yet except the tip of the coming iceberg.Give the rest of the world another 25-30 years of Mc Donalds coupled with cheap/free labor and lots of cigarettes and some good stuff will create the next electronic marketplace that will make Carter and his liver pills look like a deal....
