AHh. I bought fake HDJ 1000s

Has anyone done this. They fuckin got me. I didn’t pay any attention to the picture. I got em on ebay thinking I was getting a great deal. They got here in 2 days, yayy, but not for long. FAKE. Anyways, question for those with the real ones… Is there any metal on these things. I sent the seller a message and that fuck better give me my money back. But before I buy some real ones I want to know if they are any more substantial.
NOTE: Don’t buy HDJ 1000s with black hinges. Those bastards.

Do you have any consumer protection with ebay mate? or is a “buyer beware” sorta thing.

Happened to a mate of mine. Was trying to rub it in my face that he’d got a pair of HDJ 1000’s off ebay for £35 when I paid over £100 for mine..

If it’s too good to be true it probably is.

There’s not metal on the real ones. I’d also say look at other options as well because I personally found them very uncomfortable to wear for prolonged periods of time.

Thanks guys. They honestly don’t sound that bad. I had some technics before, which broke. And I see that happening soon with these. My hope is that the fuck just tells me to keep em to avoid shipping costs of an open, now used pair of fake 1000s. I’m already planning on grabbing the 2000s. Tell your friends, right?

buying headphones on ebay = bad idea

its ok to buy 2000’s on ebay because they hav not been faked but if super cheap ones start popping up dont go there sony headphones are also faked alot on ebay. stanton ones i have not seen any fakes of yet they generally stick to the most popular ones. well if he gives you your money back just take it and dont send them back if he asks for them back report to ebay paypal and trading standards. one note is trading standards will request you send them to them but that will not cost you

They don’t sound bad, but do they sound good? How’s the isolation lol. You should do a review of the “fakes”

one of my really good friends was just going to order them (for the best price) On eBay! hah go to give him the heads up, thanks!

p.s. just an FYI Never buy used headphones, some health issues go along on that.

Be careful with ebay, whatever you buy. I’ve found that buying is best done with auction that are not the huge stores on there.

11

I bought a pair of fake sennheisers… they were very cheap. And for the price I paid, the sound is excellent.

Be sure to cast a negative vote on the seller.

12

I haven’t had any problems. Got good cables super cheap.
Just check the store rep & pay with paypal (there’s a customer protection) & yur good to go.
Of course if the deal is TOO good, ask yourself some serious questions

13

Lodge an ‘item significantly not as described’ complaint with Paypal, stating your evidence as to why they’re fake.

Did this about 4 years ago with a North Face McMurdo Parka - got my most of my money back, and got to keep the coat.

14

Yea he said if I send them back he will refund my money when he gets them. He said he got them at a garage sale and didn’t know. hmmm.

15

do not send them back to seller send them to trading standards and report to ebay and paypal that way u will get all ur money back

16

I’ve bought some Technics RP-DJ-1210’s off ebay that were about 35% cheaper than retail. They were 100% authentic and purchaed from a large e-tailer (I bought them to replace a pair stolen from me).

Shop smart on eBay; there are bargins to be had…

17

I fully agree. Ebay is the shit. But what you talkin’ bout tombruton… trading standards whaaa?

18

I still want to know how the isolation is on the fakes.

19

just file a compliant straight with paypal you’ll get all your money back if you used them!

Yes that is what they tell you, but in most cases their buyer insurance is worth NOTHING.
