You probably won't see one. Here is why.. with most house sales these days there is a visit by a "home inspector". One of the things they do is check every outlet with a small device that tells them if the outlet is hot and if it is grounded. If they find a problem it is corrected. I guess they should start checking stereo equipment too...

That will tell you if the outlet is wired correctly, but not if it is authentic.
Authentic? Really? Do you mean not working? I think a home inspector would know the difference..
He is not talking about fake as in not working. He is talking about fake as in counterfeit.
Lets see. A receptacle usually costs less than $1. Is it really worth making one that doesn't work? And for what? My point is would a certified appraiser risk his occupation not being able to identify a fake? Still not sure why someone would go to the trouble of making one?
You're 100% wrong.
Home inspector is looking for issues with a house; roof/basement leaking, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, structural issues, fire/safety. In no way shape or form is he/she going to differentiate between a real Oyaide outlet and a fake. 99.999% are not going to have a clue what a Oyaide outlet is unless he or she is really into HiFi. Unless it is wired incorrectly they aren't going to give it a second glance and even at that it would be just to correct the wiring.
As for the OP this might be an example of a fake. I've never seen this color combination
Actually, that is an official color combination, just not commonly sold.

I had never heard of an Oyaide receptacle. Do they look different in any way? Thanks for the info..
In wall, not really...
A purple with black face Oyaide SWO-XXX AC outlet comes with the Oyaide WPC-Z aluminum wall bracket when purchased as a set (model WPC-XXX).
Other than the black face, it's the same AC outlet design as the all purple SWO-XXX.

I don't know what it sounds like but it sure looks good!

Sounds as good as it looks.
