Thread Starter 
Hi y'all

I want to bu the Audio Technica ES7 used on eBay, or something. These phones has an evil twin from China, claiming to be the REAL ES7 - which it isn't. They look vey much the same, and the seller could also most probably include a photo of the real thing in the ad. I want the real ones.. Mum, I'm scared..

Suggestions?

Spend a little bit more and buy from a reputable seller. This way, you have the peace of mind that you bought something genuine.

Just save up for a couple of weeks/months more and buy from a safe source.
Also check the FS forums. They pop up once in a while. Post a WTB thread too.

I agree with the WTB option. You will get a good price and help out a fellow head-fier. Even if they are a little used that would be a lot better than getting new fakes.

I have purchased items off of Ebay in the past but it looks like the good old days are over. The ripoffs seem to be on the rise on Ebay.

Amazon is a good place to buy new. I got mine from a company named XP Passports that was selling on Amazon for around 115 shipped.

Amazon.com has them for $100. I can't see why 99 would be all that different.

They're still making cash.

Exactly!
Buy from a well known store and/or a certified dealer.

Then buy somewhere else. From a well known store, like ex. AudioCubes
