Moved to Forum: Original Link

Before you get too excited these have been listed on Amazon AU by a new seller - I have no idea as to what/how they Vet sellers and what happens if they are not original etc so Buyer Beware

Maybe someone knows more about it?

Worth a shot?

      Yeah I grabbed a pair of the Beats Studio3 and money has been debited - now the waiting game begins!

    I bought from such a listing (Amazon UK). The item never arrived and it took me around 2 months to get the money back. My theory: the seller could deposit the money in a savings account and earn some free interest. Any thoughts?

      no, the seller never got the money, u pay to amazon and they won't give it to seller until u confirm u have received.

      • cloudy on 11/03/2018 - 08:16

        I’ve never confirmed I received any item from amazon, i presume no seller I bought from ever got payment from amazon ?

      What was the price on these?

  • Procyon on 11/03/2018 - 07:51

    The same seller (Sports 2018) is now selling the black for $369 and silver for $399.

    My experience with overseas Amazon has been that prices like this are usually honoured. For example, I got a normally €200+ hiking jacket for <€60. But that was a much more mature selling platform, so I guess we’ll see!

    And now this seller (Sports 2018) is selling an Asics Kayano 24 shoes for $95 delivered which seems too good to be true. Some are assuming that it may be a scam. Sounds familiar with this thread.

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/365975

    • doweyy on 11/03/2018 - 15:20

      I'm not really sure why the Kayano 24 deal seems too good to be true, you can get them for the same price from kogan with a $50 off $120 voucher for $10?

      • NitroNinja on 11/03/2018 - 16:30

        Other shoes though; like the pharrell nmds, which actually retail for $380, and were an extremely limited release. If you're a sneakerhead or hypebeast, you'll know. Seller is selling them for like $170 "100% authentic guaranteed".. not to mention the highly sought after "The ten" collection from virgil (offwhite x nike) with resale prices north of $1000 being listed for $160

  • dayyy on 11/03/2018 - 14:44

    I can almost guarantee this seller is either going to send you a counterfeit product or not send anything at all.
    He's already selling plenty of counterfeit sneakers at below retail price.

    This sounds dodgy, the seller 'Sports 2018' no longer has any items listed. But suspiciously there is a new storefront with the same items/prices with the name 'Original Store 2018'.

      They also seem to have another site "Hey Vocy" with all the same items at different prices

      Considering three sites in two days with 4 different prices, I wouldn't be holding out hope to receive it for $171. Hopefully Amazon refund you when necessary.

      Even if you get what appears to a qc35ii. Try download the bose app and connect to the headphone. If it doesn't. Its likely a fake.

  • gutenmuach on 13/03/2018 - 10:03

  • urbancartel on 13/03/2018 - 10:05

    What i'm still so surprised about after finding and posting this deal is that international businesses can set-up and sell though Amazon AU - at least you can select ship from 'Australia Only' in search results in eBay…

    There was nothing indicating that the items would be shipped from China

    It's going to be interesting to see the process of getting refunds etc if the goods are indeed fake - i'm kind of feeling guilty that so many of you pulled the trigger and hope for a hassle free outcome - at least you know that I'm in it too with a pair of Beats on the way…. Fingers crossed!

  • cyrax83 on 13/03/2018 - 13:21
    +1

    Ya'll better do a thorough analysis when it arrives. Chances are it'll be a fake.

    Even the fakes have serial numbers on them and look almost identical. I have heard the noise cancelling is pretty bad on the fakes though. Best bet is to get the serial number verified by Bose. They may also not connect to the Bose app and you won't be able to register the product (sign of a fake)

    • ash2000 on 13/03/2018 - 13:27

      The easiest way to test for a fake is to try connecting it to the Bose APP. Fakes won't connect….. you often see in dodgy eBay listings in the fine print of the description "No app support".

      • stuntman on 13/03/2018 - 13:49

        If you're in Sydney, there is a Bose store in the city Westfield. I'd try them first.

  • Trysaeder on 13/03/2018 - 14:04

    Ordered SE535ltd early 11/3 AM, got a shipping notification email just now coming from China post unfortunately. "Finally, beware if the Internet auction site dealer is in a different country than you. History has proven that many counterfeit Shure products are being sold from one country into another."

    Highly likely to be fakes considering how often Shures are counterfeited.

    • ash2000 on 13/03/2018 - 14:18

      Oh dear. That does not sound encouraging.

    • Trio21 on 13/03/2018 - 15:46

      Same here, item just shipped from China. Any idea how to spot the fakes?

      • Trysaeder on 13/03/2018 - 20:08
        +2

        If they don't look and sound as if they're worth $450 they're fake. Possibly an easier tell is the L/R on the housing will be poorly painted since they're raised in a recession.

        Considering the other two headphones (Bose/Beats) are also heavily counterfeited, and Shure is also a heavily counterfeited brand, AND the rest of their stuff (shoes/bags) are often faked, I'd say there's some 95% chance they're all fake. The only silver lining is that it wouldn't make much sense for them to sell fakes on Amazon - for a new seller especially, the money is held until Amazon is comfortable that their products are sound - they would simply lose money on shipping fees (cheap) and the fakes themselves (not cheap - most fakes sell for US$220+).

        Only chance they're real is if they're stolen or otherwise not very legitimate and trying to offload them asap.

        I have to admit I bought them with my heart more than my head. I've wanted the beautiful Red SE535s for years (https://media.karousell.com/media/photos/products/2015/10/22…)but could never justify the huge price increase over the 'butt bronze' and 'hearing aid clear' ones so I jumped on this deal with the smallest chance they'd be real since it's on Amazon.

        Unlike Beats/Bose, Shure dealers are much harder to find so the best bet to getting a refund would be to send high quality pictures to Shure to get a letter.

        • Trio21 on 14/03/2018 - 00:00

          I don't believe that for a second. SE535ltd would sell for the equivalent value in their home market ($400+). There would need to be some shady reason to sell overseas instead.

          Going to assume fakes unless my ears/Shure prove otherwise. Would be pleasantly surprised if they end up real.

    So I tracked it on Australia Post website and got this:
