Oh I know trust me I have been burned before but it is a calculated risk. I usually buy from sellers that are either power sellers with 98% or higher feedback or new sellers with 100% feedback. I recently picked up a 2610XM maxed out for $35 and a 2950 switch for $30 that were legit.
Playing the game I guess. I also order from CiscoKits when I need for Interface cards and cables though since they are the most counterfeited on eBay in my experience.Working on currently:

This is a problem I don't see going away anytime soon unless Cisco keeps all of it's manufacturing here in the US.
Just my opinion.
BTW Veritas how do you keep finding these articles like this all the time? You find a lot of interesting stuff.No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives. -
