He is selling counterfit Oyaide Plugs. I was too stupid to realize at first but after checking in to it they are fake and I am pissed!

Follow Ups:
Paid quite a bit more than $10 for them as well. I wondered about 'em since they didn't come in the metal canisters. But they were labeled Oyaide all over their bags, and on the plug bodies as well.I've not had a chance to try them yet as I needed a cable that is suited for re-terminating. Bought a couple different cables specifically for this purpose as I didn't want to hack into my TG SLVRs.
Right now I've got these "Oyaides" burning in on my 'fridge. Guess it's for naught. Bummer as I've really liked their (genuine) wall sockets.
Oh well. Live and learn.

You should post feedback on Audiogon on him - he did try to sell me the Oyaide too but i have bought fake one on ebay and well aware of them.
I ask them if they are real oyaide which come in metal can - he did admit that they are not and said bought from someone else that told them that they are original Oyaide.I did buy them for ~$25/set and they serve their purpose as it's cheaper than the regular/cheap wattgate..

I have tried but A-gon's feedback system is total bullshit and they haven't posted the negative feedback. Maybe they need a letter from a lawyer explaining to that by allowing someone to continue and illegal activity knowingly on there website, namely fraud and selling counterfeit merchandise, that that is conspiracy to commit a criminal act.

I'm familiar with both a counterfeit and authentic Oyaide (P-037). Please describe your findings per the counterfeit's build difference to the authentic. TIA

Sure, first the packaging, plastic bags not the metal cans, (I got 046's from Chris VH, came in metal can of course) Second the metal inserts in the plug case/body that the two screws go into that connect the actual plug to the plug body, the real ones don't have inserts. Third shade of color blue is lighter then real plug. Fourth looks exactly the same as the counterfeit plug that you posted about a while back and that is on the Oyaide website including the packaging.BTW there is a person on A-gon right now W&M, user id Sounds_dope, who is selling pc's using these crappy plugs claiming there $160 which is pretty much insinuating that there are Oyaide. Guy didn't respond to my email asking directly what brand they were. There's another POS

Yep, that's the same fake P-037 I posted about. Like you mentioned, among other differences the fake's threaded metal inserts are a dead giveaway that can easily be noticed when viewing a photo of it. I bet the fake P-037 photo shown on Oyaide's "Warning!!" support page link that you posted in the other thread is the exact unit I shipped to Oyaide's US distributor for examination :-D

Man you have sharp eye, they are indeed Oyaide Fake - they have the gold/metal insert and the blue body have that imperfection in all of their plug (maybe it's a problem with chinese mold injection as it does come out smooth like the real Oyaide)!I really feel bad for those who are bidding on the cord - hope they don't bid it up thinking it's the real Oyaide there...

SUCK!!!! and when they are found out the should be out’ed and banned from doing business. A-gon needs to do there part and do the right thing.This hobby is $$$ and is difficult enough to get everything just right. The last thing people need are A-holes trying to rip us off.

A lot depends on the price charged if you paid oyiades rate then you should be rightly miffed....if on the other hand you tried to get some on the cheap .....I bought some that may be simlar from ebay ....they are actually very good in there own right...better than any of the similar priced UK IEC plugs.
