jim mcculloch Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Counterfeiters don't have to fake only "big ticket" stuff. The most popular small indoor RC helicopter retails for around $25.00, yet IT is frequently copied very expertly. Also, an Australian bookseller on ebay is selling bootleg copies of "Advanced Nuggetshooting" for several times the price for the real thng. Go figure!

Nugget Shooter Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Yup and it always pays to shop at a authorized dealer for any product Jim as you well know! Folks are always trying to get that "good deal" and fall victim or the scammers would be out of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim mcculloch Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Bill, a guy recently told me that he could buy new "GMT's" for only $350.00 each, postpaid. Of course, they had to be shipped in from CHINA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoser John Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I've seen whites and garrets on craigslist for a couple a hundred also--when I called I got bs story about shop closing-only thing is NO shop by that name ever existed. Local cops and post office were MOST interested--god I hate thieves-John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
