There isn't as big of a market for counterfeit Shures because the brand isn't well known. Bose on the other hand...

I bought mine new from one of the retail shure "etailers" linked off their website - for $330 new. The website price was $500, but if you called they would tell you what the discounted price is.
The thing that made me nervous about ebay was that shure apparently won't honor warranties from non partner sellers listed on their website.
(mine don't have the PTH btw, it is probably a tad more than 330$ with that)

Look real to me. It should also say the build date on the Y-connector -- it's a 4 digit number.

does anyone know if Shure actually demands look at proof of purchase?
I've read mixed reviews about it.. some say shure doesn't even ask about the invoice.. some say you need to show it...

I have no experience with the product in question so I can't comment.
But I have heard reports of counterfeit products originating from China that are visually indistinguishable from the real thing (bags, wallets, and even to iPods).
in my other hobby (photography) it is well known that there are a lot of counterfeit memory cards like Sandisk that are visually identical to the real thing right down to the packaging and openly sold in streets in Chinese cities (and so is the eBay). They would even work but without the reliability and the transfer speed of the real thing.
Not to imply that the Shure is a fake, but these counterfeiters would go to great length to get what they want and their proficiency is not to be underestimated.

I actually emailed Shure because I was worried about warranty coverage: if you don't buy from an authorized dealer, no warranty.
