Cheap Ipod Clones A Pirates Den.
So it seems that a lot of people have seen the ipod clones and there seems to be a ton of them. A person cant hardly shake a stick at ebay nowadays without seeing them. So I decided to see where and how much these little buggers were going for. Come to find out a little infamous website called dhgate seems to be a primary culprit of not only pirate ipods but software, shoes and a whole mess of other items whos lead content in the paint is unknown.
Searching the website is chock full of amazing replicas of the originals for instance Those fore mentioned Ipod nano’s typically sell for about 14 bux and I seen one person selling Photoshop CS4 for a little less than 25.00US per copy. Every detail seemed perfect even the packaging.
I did about a week of checking back and fourth between and photographs I seen on ebay and could see that there were many discount software on sale there which came from dhgate and were being sold for wild profits. And it doesnt just stop with Ipods and Software but shoes, handbags children s toys the list went on and on.
So what can be done about it? not much it seems since these companies operate outside of the states it almost seems as though there is a copyright free zone originating in china. So when looking on ebay, look real close and make sure you have the real item.
Till later-

Why would someone be selling something that initially cost about $1000 now $25 it’s impossible, it’s either it is not of good quality, or the seller is lying.

Exaclty, they are cheap quality and are being sold for virtually the same prices as the real thing.
