I don't personally have a problem buying things on eBay, even if they are fake. I've gotten maybe half of mine from one guy in Hong Kong which are still detailed and beautiful to look at - check my pic in the figurine topic; I always cross-reference them with proper pictures, and not one has differed (one picture did flatter a cheap figurine, but I've had that buying proper ones before :P). They were quite cheap but then the boxes were pretty badly damaged, so who knows if they are fake or not; he also stopped selling them after a while, so could have been old stock etc. I'm never going to sell them though; as long as they look good, does it really matter? It isn't like buying most fake things, watches for instance; it isn't an issue of lifespan or guarantees, it is simply looks. There are so many I could still buy, and even a lot of definitely genuine ones already, that I'm gonna end up losing track.
Well in picture, the different can't be see. But in eye contact, it can be confirm which is original and which is fake. Just like the best fake gunpla i've ever seen, TT Hongli. it has average 75% quality from Bandai. My friend just try to buy fake HGUC Nu Gundam, and i'm suprised all parts are fit each other and not loose, unlike most fake gunpla. In photo, stand side by side with Bandai's, there no different. Only different, as always, plastic quality that cleary seen in naked eyes (if it not cover with paint yet)
