Is this a scam or not?

Post by JCSoaker » Mon Apr 16, 2007 4:21 am

I've seen some CPS 1500s (Fake ones)- (replicated to look like the real one, and not sure about the performance) for sale on E-bay for about $29.99 each, (and some for ($0.01) one penny each). Is this a scam or not as they are made from China, and the logo is messed up. The picutre DOES look like the real CPS 1500. Here is a pic. Have any of you bought one? if so, tell me more about this one before I bid on it.

Any thoughts about the performance of the replicated one too?
Thanks.

The one on the left is a poor quality air-pressure (or trigger-pump-based?) fake; you can tell by the absence of a reservoir cap. The one on the right is a picture of my own CPS 1500: did you find that picture on eBay? If so, someone's appropriated my picture for their use illegitimately.

Hope that helps. :cool:
