Wow! Legit?

Do you remember the scene in M. Python and the Holy Grail where there is discussion as to how the assembled men might deduce whether or not the woman with a parsnip tied in front of her nose is a witch? That is the sort of fiendish logic at play here, my good man.

SHE TURNED ME INTO A NEWT

I knew they were onto something when they came up with "if I went round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!".


Here's the Witch scene.

So, the question is… who’s going to order one?

I would but I am currently tapped out due to my recent LPD pedal spree. Worth it though. Funny how I end up loving small American companies that build stuff by hand…

Yet I love looking at the Chinese stuff too.

Its AliExpress ... we have no actual idea what this actually "is"

So .... call me logical and rationale and sensible if you must .... but you can get "the real official" thing from SW for $299 - only $60 more.

No disrespect to anyone, but if $60 is make or break for someone on whether or not they buy a pedal, I would strongly advise them not to buy the pedal at all in the first place.

I'm guessing that UA would like to know about this. There's three possibilities:
1. Their CM is selling out the back door.
2. Someone is selling clones and infringing on their copyrights.
3. Someone is selling fakes.

Either way its a sh*t sandwich for UA

Race to the bottom AND potential IP theft!

The price of pharmaceuticals varies widely between nations. I wonder if it’s the only thing that does.

Varying MSRP across different countries. It does happen with drugs. Sorry if the analogy wasn’t clear.

Honestly Aliexpress is a bit of a wild west, but I've gotten a lot of good stuff from there. Mostly things like phone/tablet cases, smartwatch bracelet etc because there's just way more selection.

Interestingly that UA listing says "wholesale 2+ pieces". Impossible to know if you will get a legit unit, a backdoor deal on a B-stock, a clone etc.
