I bought some Pokemon bracelets (yeah .. I know) for some family members. I have a big suspicion that they are counterfeit. The boxes had asian writing on them, and it did not seem Nintendo-like. The device itself has horrible connectivity with the game and phones - almost unusable. I'm pretty ticked off. As a consumer, I had no good way to verify that the device is not counterfeit. For similar situations, I actually started to go to my local best buy to ensure I am not getting fake stuff.
- deelowe 10y agoNothing wrong with buying pokemon bracelets. This is the sort of thing Amazon should excel at. Where else would you get that product? Instead, you're left with a frustrating experience simply because there's no reliable mechanism for checking the authenticity of the product and/or the reputation of the seller prior to purchase.
- cookiecaper 10y agoCharacter stuff is rife with counterfeits. You have to be really careful before you buy on Amazon, or be content with cheap-o knockoffs that break/degrade easily (which, to be honest, are sometimes acceptable for a big discount).
- Grue3 10y agoIt's 100% counterfeit. Never buy Japanese game/anime merchandise on Amazon.com (Amazon.co.jp is probably ok) or Ebay. There are specialized Japan-based stores like AmiAmi which never sell counterfeits.
