Title: Apple goods from china
Post by: Walnutst on March 02, 2012, 03:13 pm
I have found a Chinese wholesaler who is selling 1:1 replica Apple MacBook Airs. Comes complete with led apple on back and backlit keyboard. Has 1GB memory and 60GB hard drive. Originally run window 7 but would be switched to OS X snow leopard which the new Macs are running. Would be shipping from US so domestic buyers would not be subject to customs. Price would be ~$600 plus shipping and I would be willing to stay in escrow. I don't have a sellers account but would make one if the demand is high enough.

Depends how good the counterfeits are.  What is the packaging like, and will the computers update properly?

I am ordering one to test out the quality. Making sure everything is centered and lights up properly. Going to install snow leopard on it and make sure it updates. I can tell you it will probably be slower than a true apple because of it being a replica. But forged goods are never as good hense the price

Lol obviously no free samples. I haven't looked into ipads and I'm assuming the price difference between the real thing and a Chinese replica will only be a $100 or so difference in price. Ill see what price the company is offering and post what I would list them for tomorrow.

Alright the company doesn't offer ipads but they offer a wide selection of non-brand android tablets. I could offer those for ~$150plus SR fees and shipping. I don't know shit about android tablets or if that is a good price or not so if there's interest in those let me know.

They do offer what is essentially an iPhone without the apple logo on the back. Will need sim card to run these as phones otherwise if you could find an apple sticker these would look pretty legit. Same OS as iPhone and these are cheap and could be offered at $100 plusfees and shipping

You can't sell on the forums without a sellers account. If you try to start, mods will sweep in and lock your thread.

@David's I'm not trying to sell on the threads. Was initially gauging interest in replica macbooks. Liveghost asked if I had access to ipads and touches. I was simply telling him what I could or could not find and I clearly stated in my first post that I would open a sellers account and stay within escrow.

I'd be wary of most this shit the iphone replicas and ipad replicas suck. You can find reviews and review vids on google and youtube. I dunno about the laptops. Buyer beware.

Buying knockoff from China is unsafe unless you have purchased from them before and only thru escrow funds most of the time they will take your money and run.

Got the sample in today. It "looks" almost identical to the real thing but its made out of some cheap metal/plastic combo. The keyboard backloghting is basically an led strip and doesn't look right because it protrudes from the case a bit. Computer has a disk hard drive which runs noticeably louder than the slate drives apple uses. I was originally going to buy a real apple from best buy and return it with the fake but china can't make replicates to save their life lol.

So the point of the story is that these won't be on SR because the quality is too horable. These can't be passed off as the the real thing
