I am sure the majority on eBay are fake unfortunately. I suppose the old adage of &#39;if something is too good to be true, it probably is&#39;&nbsp; applies here. <br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/27109.aspxSat, 30 Jun 2007 07:23:23 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:27109BenSA0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/27109.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=27109<p>I friend of mine won a bid on a pair of A8&#39;s on a local aution. They were claimed to be brand new but the buy it now price was 64% lower then B&amp;O&#39;s price. Luckily&nbsp;a colleague at his work had the real thing and he was able to compare the both when the seller came to drop it off and collect payment. My friend refused to take them saying they were fake and the seller took them and left. He has since re-listed them on the same aution site, for the same price and description even after e-mailing my friend to apologise and to say they he didn&#39;t realise they were fake. </p><p>&nbsp;I was so angry that I wrote to the auction site and they are now investigating it. I told them to inform the buyer that he should go to B&amp;O to have them verified. </p><p>&nbsp;Is so bad for B&amp;O because they were absolutely awful and if people think they are the real deal they&#39;ll never buy B&amp;o again. I wonder though where they come from? </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
