Ebay clones !! Ones to avoid if you are looking for a genuine box.

[dell_xps]

Quite horrified by the amount of people selling clones on Ebay and asking for the same price as an original VU+ duo,
avoid these ones if you are looking for an original VU+ Duo, and remember if you want a genuine box always ask advice in here first or use a trusted source, ie WOS for one :-)

Avoid these ones peeps all clones and all asking about the same as an original Vu+ Duo

Great post have been looking online for one did actually see these one.

I have said before that i'm not against clones as such and those who wish to buy a clone knowing what their buying are more than welcome to do so. but people selling clones as the real thing for the full retail price are nothing but greedy ****s.

I dont quite think you get the point of the post. those above auctions are for clones which are being sold as originals for the full retail price. IE the people who buy them are being ripped off.

Exactly RD, would you not be annoyed to find out you'd spent ?300 of your hard earned cash on a fake/replica box, sure as F&%k I would be.

damn sure i would be. same as any other product. If i buy a replica or clone i do so in full knowledge of that fact and take the associated risks etc.

The main thing here is people buy those receivers thinking there the real deal then IF something goes wrong down the line they find their warranty may as well be written on toilet paper.

And going back to a point made about a year ago, what if one of these boxes causes a fire in your house ?, have they been properly tested ?
Another point you brought up, Vu give away a % of the money to a childrens charity, where does the clone money go ?
A lot of things you have to take into consideration when buying anything counterfeit, so be warned !

Just pointing out some facts to new people thinking of grabbing a bargain, if it's to good to be true, then it probably is, FACT !
We know you have nothing against clones, just dont advertise your selling the real thing when it's clearly not, same as what grates on me :-), and the other fact that these might be potential fire hazards ????
Oh and another thing selling a ~~~~ing warranty with it, buy from a reputable dealer, thats all the warranty you'll ever need !!

LMAO your preaching to the choir mate. as for the one you removed from the list thats a clone too as you can see the ferrari team sticker in the second picture. personally i'm more bothered by the bloke taking the pish and plastering the ViX image pics all over his sales page.

as to the warranty well as far as i know ebay them selves cover a 1 year warranty with these types of electrical goods sales.

i have also seen ebay sellers offering the vu
a gaurantee for a extra ?37 plus, this should
make buyers think and know it has to be a clone

[saintashley]

Of course I got the post I want one and now know that the ones listed are fake and so I'll avoid them.
