FAKE ALERT! Anyone ever heard of this site?

[zagatron1]

I just find out about a wholesale web site that sells China type..........I'll say stuff. When you go to the site, on the left hand side, you'll see the catagories. Well, I went down the menu to musical intruments. There, you wouldn't believe what I saw! FAKES! FAKES! FAKES! We ALL know you CANNOT get a new Gibson anything for less than $500! That's what I saw. Les Pauls with "Gibson" on the headstock! $374.99? A Fender Telecaster (at least that's what was on the headstock), without the strings though the body! FAKE! A really fake PRS guitar! A USA, Fender P-Bass for less than $300?  2009 Rickenbacker Bass for $340.50?  The name of the site? ( www.tradetang.com.) Check it out guys. This is the kind of stuff that____s up everything for everybody, as if things aren't confusing enough as it is!

I guess you don't live in europe  or s. america, they are as popular as mosquitoes

actually if you buy them in lots of 100 or more the price is less than 28 bucks a piece

my export friend in china sends me a price list of the guitars direct from the builder, last I heard Gibson has a factory in or near shanghai now

I guess I'm outta the loop. I did see the part (like you said) where the price per unit is discounted for more units purchased. I noticed they come from different manufacturers too. I've just never seen so many fakes in one place, at one time before.

I saw some of those knockoffs on ebay a while back-there fakes but somehow they get away with it

That's why I would never buy a guitar from an overseas ebay seller.  I've owned a few Les Pauls and feel I can spot a counterfeit a mile away...you never know what you've purchased until you hold it in your hands.
