Has anyone ever heard of this place. Their prices are unreal. Some of these listings have got to be bogus. Surf through the Fender listings and tell me what is going on.

If you look at those listings note the sellers names and their other items. At those prices there's no way these are anything but cheap knockoffs.

To me they look to be Chinese forgeries, along with the seller's other cheap articles; sunglasses, watches etc., all of high end goods with Western manufacturers' names. Are the photo's of the actual articles on offer?...hmmm :?
I notice the seller has only 3 feedbacks from buyers and one of them noted that the wig she bought wasn't the same as in the ad. I get the feeling Customs may be paying the guy a visit one day -with a steamroller.

No Danny, I meant that it looked cheaply made - an obvious knock-off, and a bad one at that!
