OK, so which one of you...
...is making all those Big Name fakes on Ebay?
Just kidding. I'm only trying to kick start the board with a hot topic after its data loss lull in activity. (They are apparently coming from Hong Kong, where producing knock-off designer clothing & accessories, DVDs, Windows software, and so forth is considered an honorable profession.)

PS --- the most sure-fire way to spot fakes is the quality of the stem work.

Whoaaa....
That's bad. If you want to buy a Jess you should be smart enough to tell it's a fake, but a regular guy just looking to buy a Castello might easily go for one of the pipes offered by that seller.
I wonder if they're gonna let that guy go on with his listings or is someone gonna report it.

yet, he retains 100% positive feedback....you'd think if someone is willing to drop $3000+ on a pipe, think they would recognize quality...

Re: OK, so which one of you...
One way to look at it is that pipes are now valuable and appreciated enough to be on counterfeiter's radar.
If you've ever wondered how ballsy those guys can get, check this out. In China the've moved from counterfeit items to entire stores in which to sell the items:

There is a report function on eBay, and we should probably be using it even if nothing comes of it. Someone might save some poor slouch $3,000 on a Nordh with fissures.
