Thread: Fake and Counterfeit Gear on TradeMe

Just a quick warning...

It seems the eBay scourge of knockoffs and fakes has reached TradeMe...

In particular seller mikevr4 seems likely to be selling fake Cold Steel Code4 / Recon1 and Kubun knives

The reason I say likely, is in a previous auction where he claimed to have bought the two knives from Guncity I asked the boxes had Guncity pricing stickers. He answered the question but then blacklisted me from all other auctions.

Those knives sold, but now has multiple listings for the same knives again. Listed again at $1 reserve with just the standard blurb stolen from bladehq etc....plus colour options not available on the real deal.

So just a heads up. If buying a cold Steel on TradeMe it might pay to check what's selling on AliExpress first...
