there is currently alot of OS stuffing being sold in JApan, HK, Bangkok etc on ebay... ::)

If you're talking about the stuff from 'babelovely' then some of this is NOS, some of it is new (and without a doubt still being made in the far east) and some of it is just shockingly bad repro/retro/fake (the Haro stuff)
Bob_Acid:
Exact copies of original stuff is BS.
It's just for personal use?
Heard it all before.
Two years later they always turn up on ebay with some wânker selling them for a bomb or anyone that's got a mint original for sale being called a skanker.
i personally think, fair play if they are different enough that a layman could tell. Otherwise fook off. :angel:

QUADROPHENIA:
i remember seeing a catalogue 3 or 4 years ago with shit loads of stuff being made still just now unstamped,also someone put a photo on here about 2 years ago of a guy pushing a wheelbarrow down the road loaded with haros in asia somewhere. must admit i have been looking at getting a changa repoped for myself as i am never going to be able to afford the real deal. it would be a exact rep but still isnt going to be cheap
