BEWARE of the Toxic Broadhead Knockoffs from China

UltraMag77 · May 20, 2015

I remember the Anderson's I didn't shoot those. I was friends with a guy that shot a six blade anderson. it almost looked like a 4 blade muzzybut set inside a large double bevel 2 blade. They looked like they could really core out a lung or 2.

Everyone....do not be fooled by the cheap imitations of the Toxic Broad heads found on eBay....they come from China and they are just that...cheap imitations.

It's not just Toxic, tons of broadheads can be found on EBAY knocked-off, including the Excalibur Boltcutter!

As someone else correctly said, sometimes the products are either the real McCoy or close due to stolen tech right from the Chinese plant making the real deal, other times (probably most of the time) you'll get varying degrees of lower quality items.

China is the greatest copier in the world.

And EBAY couldn't care less, because it helps their profits.

IF a manufacture takes his product to china to be made instead of using our labor here, he gets what he should when they sell them cheaper out the side door.

Everything's counterfeited though, whether it's made in China or not. The Chinese connection just makes the theft easier.

The fact that the knock-offs are being sold helps keep the price of the real ones reasonable.

Not true.

The fact that stolen intellectual property has entered the market in the form of counterfeit goods decreases the "real" companies revenue.

That revenue must be made up for, which can eventually bite you in the form of INCREASED prices.

Yea... I'm not denying any of that... But the least we could do is let eBay know... Return the product and get a refund... As my son did... The quality of the know offs were clearly inferior... The blades were thinner and could be bent with your fingers....we returned them and got a 100% refund.... The saddest part is that our government does not protect US patent rights!

One other aspect of this that few people realize, is that the reason much of this can happen is due to the fact that the Communist government subsidizes international shipping costs so that the peasants can have jobs selling cheap, low-priced, crap to foreign markets. While the individual Chinese seller/business profits, the government loses money on shipping.

Click the below link for a recent example:

A bracelet sold by a Chinese merchant in Beijing for 1¢ (yes, a penny) shipping INCLUDED, to a buyer in America. The Communist government is eating that, but it helps keep peasants from revolting.

They do not care. The thousands of Chinese merchants on EBAY are good for EBAY's bottom line.

They will politely "thank you for your information" and begin "an investigation into the matter", and if you later ask them what they found, they will tell you that they cant tell you what the result was due to "privacy concerns". But rest assured, the fraudulent seller will not be booted from EBAY, and they very likely will continue selling the fake goods. Been there, done that!

Knock offs or real deal those are complete garbage.

2nd that POS

One last thing to point out..... and this will likely make folks angry as I'm 95% sure that 99% of Americans have no idea about this.

YOU and I are ALSO losing tons of money to help the Chinese sell stuff in America and undercut American businesses, because in addition to the Chinese government eating money on the shipping, the US Post Office eats money on Chinese shippint too.

On shipping to the United States from China, the USPS only get about $1 per every 2.2 pounds (1kg) of Chinese goods.

It literally costs you and I MORE money to ship something from New Jersey to Des Moines, Iowa, than it costs a Chinese guy sitting in Shanghai to ship that same item to Des Moines, Iowa.

You can read all about that BS at the below link if the subjects interests you (and wont make your blood boil too much).

An excerpt:

In 2012, USPS was paid only 94 cents on average for each piece of Chinese ePacket mail, according to a February report from the Postal Service’s inspector general’s office. That report estimated that the Postal Service was losing about a dollar on each incoming item, adding up to a $29.4 million net loss in 2012.

.... But it is our job not to buy their garbage.... Blaming Flying Arrow Archery for where they produce their product is not the answer... Would you buy their product if they cost $100 for USA production?.... Probably not!

Just about everything we use today is from China... Your computer, your mobile phone.... Etc... Just make sure it's the patent owners product and not the cheap knockoffs.....
