Got to be fakes right?

This is just too good of a deal to be true right?

Well its eBay soo probably fake.

 

[ashren315]

Probably are, but I don't see how they have not gotten a single negative review saying "they are fakes" or anything like that. If they are legit, that is a hell of a deal.

It said only 1 sold for me. 90% of people that post reviews don't know any better... Just look at all the positive reviews on boss car audio lol

It shows 99.1% for me with over 1000 rates. I have seen them offering these and the larger size versions before but it seems like every week on Sunday they redo the add for them on there. At least they have the past couple of Sundays. The price has changed about $10 or so as well from week to week.

its overseas in europe and not china, You can actually get stuff overseas a lot cheaper than the MSRP they normally sell at america. However you'll have to pay the import taxes. My buddy shops for mosconi and gladden stuff overseas a lot and all his stuff is legit.

I'd mainly be worried if you see the item origin is from hong kong.

You think they could be legit? At that price I would buy them if they are. Will eBay refund the money if they are fakes? I thought I read somewhere that they would. Not sure exactly how I could prove they are fakes.

no, those arent fake. thats the new line. I ordered my 100krs for about the same price from online ebay, came from France via customs and all. Not a bad deal there.

I knew it was their new line, but anywhere else they are around $800. How the hell can they sell them for that price if they are $800 normally? I get that markup on this stuff is unreal, but that's over $400 difference.

believe it. IT IS a 400 dollar mark up. I got high end stuff for literally half the price on crutchfield buying from european dealers and dealing with customs.

You really think people are giving a proper deal when they sell sh*t to you? Especially american retailers...

Even at that ebay price, the european dealers are still making a killing.

The real threat is "Customs" Those motherfuckers are a bunch or assholes when it comes to keeping the packaging in good shape. I got mines all mangled up in a big ball of bubble wrap. Luckily the product itself was fine. but could have been very different.

European gear is cheaper in Europe.

Consider these are probably built in China with everything else I'd say at 400$ someone is still making plenty of money. Why bother to make "fake" name brand speakers anyway?

 

[LosIsATool 5,000+ posts]

These are made in France

 

[ashren315]

So the consensus is that they are not fakes?
