I'm seeing alot of ppl selling this for $45 with free shipping. The amazon retail price is $100. All of these sellers are from china. I tried to google a bit but couldn't find any information about faked ds980. Does anyone here know anything about this?

Yeah, 99.9% likely to be fake. Especially from China. I know it's temping but trust me, pictures are not what they seem, it will be a crapper cheap version of that. Just stay away from these purchases from ebay, notice on the listings it doesn't say OME or genuine? If it really was genuine and so cheap do you not think they'd advertise that? And if you complain you will either have to send it back to china (time delay and cost) or they'll say that you bought it knowing what you were buying something stupid like that.

yes its a fake.. i mean a good fake.. as in OEM.. where some parts are original and some parts are taken to reduce costs.. thats why it states it as OEM.. not original or genuine.. check out some auctions in ebay itself.. where sellers sell Genuine Products.
