Assume anything you buy from Hong Kong in counterfeit
Fraudulent sale on eBay
I JUST TONIGHT SEPT 10, CAME ACROSS AN AUCTION FOR JBL 300 "SUMMITS". (300S THEYRE NOT SUMMITS). FOR SALE FOR $300.00. FORGET IT!!! I BID $65,000. I REPORTED TO EBAY. BUT THIS LOOKS LIKE THE SAME WOMAN I HELPED PUT OUT OF THE SCAMMING BUSINESS 15 YEARS AGO. IT MEANS WHEN THEY TAKE THIS DOWN, A STRING OF "TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE" auctions WILL COME UP. THE WOMAN Interpol caught went to prison but she may be out right about now. She SUPPOSEDLY sold brand new in box Martin Logan Vistas for $3000 with free overnight delivery from Europe! Good deal since the delivery was $6,000.00. I just followed her all day bidding millions of dollars on each auction. As soon as you see the "DO NOT BID, contact me directly" its a scam, head south.

Not Xenophobic, just not naive. This is based on my experience as a trial lawyer representing multiple manufacturers against counterfeit sellers on eBay, including cutting into counterfeiter cables as exhibits and filing multiple lawsuits against counterfeiters. Counterfeiters in Hong Kong are not policed. On the other hand, you will not get mugged in Hong Kong. |
Read Tiffany (NJ) Inc. v. eBay Inc. 600 F.3d 93 (2nd Cir. 2010). 75% of Tiffany jewelry sold on eBay was counterfeit at that time. EBay’s VeRO program is designed to prevent a Court from entering an injunction against eBay. 95% of all VeRO complaints I filed were against sellers located in Hong Kong selling high end cables. |
Hong Kong is a wonderful city. It is cleaner than any city in the USA. In ten days, I saw one dent on a car. The food is amazing. The Jockey’s Club is a horse racing track with eight story stands. They have no sense of historical preservation. Horrible construction regulations. It is safe, even walking down the streets drunk at 3:00 am. Very polite people without any public displays of affection. You, however, should never express a political opinion. |
The manufacturers’ concerns are that, if you buy a counterfeit cable and assume it is real, you will complain publicly how poorly it performs because it sounds like lamp cord from Home Depot. Counterfeiting damages their reputations and impairs their trademark’s goodwill. Both Cardas and Kimber have authentication programs. Call them if you think you purchased a counterfeit cable. They will help. |
@tony1954 yes, I am judging Hong Kong based on its criminals whose major activities include counterfeiting. I have direct knowledge from barristers in Hong Kong. I have direct knowledge from litigating this issue for speaker manufacturers. You obviously have no direct knowledge but are comfortable calling me a liar. That reflects poorly on your character.

“China leads the world in counterfeit and pirated products. In fact, 75% of the value of counterfeit and pirated goods seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in 2021 was from China and Hong Kong. Within China’s borders, forgeries of luxury-brand products are more prevalent than in any other country in the world.“

@tony1954 These are facts, not racial slurs. Arguing with people who are not anchored to facts is like mud wrestling with pigs. You get filthy and the pigs love it. |
