Whites Spectra V3i, the most adaptable user interface metal detector for the general public ever made has hit the black market for Chinese replication. Imatation is fattering for Whites but these machines are illegally sold here in the USA with stunning attention to detail.
There is a way you can authenticate your Spectra V3i. Make sure you don't get punked in a discounted (too good to be true) V3i knocked off by the Chinese and sold outside a distributor. Whites has one of these fake V3i's at Sweet Home today that has malfunctioned and a spokesman for the company was astonished at the likeness.
My Segway has a Chinese knock off as well. They just replicate anything they want with no regard for patent rights ... Godless is all I have to say. Some day we will face off with the Chinese over this kind of thing as it's not good enough for them to own us in loan interest so they have to steal every technology they can't figure out for themselves.
If you have a recent purchase or second hand V3i and you didn't get it from a reputable dealer PM me and I will tell you how to know if your V3i is American made.
Be carefull boys the Chicom's are ruthless!
This is not a drama thread, just factual information for members protection the buyers need to know. Admin, clean this up if you don't like it and re-post it sticky before someone gets ripped off.
