Fakes/Copies/Clones on ebay

[NeroWolfe]

I am frequently bored and perusing ebay for steals on used butterfly blades but I frequently suspect that some of the ones that are posted are fakes/clones/etc, since I have read that there are junky clones sold on dhgate or alibaba or whichever it is.

How does one know which are the fakes?

For example, this Innerfiber ZLC is pretty cheap and in decent condition but I cant find any old version of the ZLC that looks like this on the back of the paddle...

If it's too good to be true, then it's too good to be true.

I feel like it's much better to go to the club and ask people if they are selling this or that if you are worried so much about legitimacy.

A lot of the clones on ali are NEW. They are brand new clones of popular blades.
