Should I beware of knock off razor blades on eBay?

[Univerzal]

It's coming to an end where everything is f a k e as h e l l,
Last year police confiscated 13 mercedes (2009-2011 models) which was 100% f a k e, also a whole f a k e Apple store was shutdown ,
Even the workers thought they worked for the real companies but all merch was 100% f a k e

Imagine buying a 190 000$ car and it's f a k e then a overpriced iphone and it got android os


what can we learn from this?:

If something sounds to good to be true it often is?

Is that all?:

NO! never trust any store or supplier to 100%
Look at how many "official" stores that sell f a k e beats by dre merch for an example.
Sell/buy things YOU trust in and have some kind of authentic control.
and always be prepared for storms when name brand items are involved.
and if your account/budget can survive a storm

right that is what I am saying, you are not necessarily safe even when buying from trusted sources, as goods come via different channels often without the
store owner knowing as all they are looking at is the price point....

DUCK who!!!!!

Gotta look at the eBay seller and their history. ⊗⊗⊗⊗ blades have been going on for quite a while. I met a dealer who at the off-price show in Vegas last year who deals with several blades manufacturers on eBay. He basically told me there are very few people who get them and they mostly go through him. Unless it is the Stolen aspect in a previous post. The guys selling legit blades have massive feedback. Not some 100-300 feedback seller.

i finally found out about this show on this thread. they started by making those duck calling devices for hunters. now i just dont get how they made a "reality" show from these guys.

i just got done watching "the colony" and wow what a POS show. i'm not saying this show is the same since i have not seem it but i just dont get how they can make a show about duck calling or duck stuff. i dont now.

They are a huge hit, like Gold rush was a couple years ago.

Lots of hunters who love it and lots of people who love to see the characters in the show.

Look into it.

Dad was poor his entire life, was a star football player who could have played in the NFL.

Oldest son went to college and understood the Dad was onto something.

Uncle is a vet and half crazy but people love him, they are buying his replica tea cup by the millions and his shirts too.

I see the Mom selling cookbooks soon.

When I first saw it I thought what in the heck is the show about then realized it is a show that reaches a variety of people.

People love success stories, going from broke and poor to millionaires.

Notice Dad still lives in a run down trailer but the sons live in mansions?

Might as well post this here after I asked about the razor blades....Now, what about buying an electric toothbrush on Amazon? I've never used Amazon in my entire life before. I also cannot find this specific model of toothbrush at any local store that I've called.

***Amazon links below***

This is the seller: http://www.amazon.ca/b?me=AVV0Q1CLVK...qid=1368148155

No red flags? This is the item: Philips HX9332/05 Sonicare DiamondClean Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush: Amazon.ca: Health & Personal Care

Yes for $189 but that's on BestBuy.com (US site). It's not on their Canada website. :( Otherwise if i bought from BestBuy.com I'd have to pay import tax & charges that would end up exceeding the difference in prices. Plus I should receive it within 1-2 days based off how close I am to the Canadian Amazon seller :D

Do not trust blades off ebay or any beauty items for that matter!!

When i used to be based in Shenzhen wholesaling, i had a few clients ask me for mach3s, they come in a 4 and 8 packs and look exactly like the real thing.

Only difference is they cost about 30p to buy and come from the fujian province!!!

Same with colgate toothpaste, oral b electric toothbrush heads etc. These blades can really do some serious damage, you have been warned!!

[GreenBean]

Lots of places in Fujian Province offer sub-normal products.

Need to be very careful with any selections.

The really cheap sports brand knock-offs are generally made in Fujian, alongside ⊗⊗⊗⊗ soy sauce made of human hair

I tried those, before I knew that anyone was selling phakes. I almost ended up in the emergency room! Razor blades are one thing it does not pay to be cheap with. At least if a Gillette razor (a real one) is defective and slices half of your face off, you have someone to sue.

There has also been another scandal in the Food Industry in the UK.

Horse meat was declared as 'beef' ....

Can you imagine the people who buy toothbrushes etc in bulk off ebay?

Loose and not in a package.

Scary....
