knockoffs on amazon?

[abomb2o11]

So I've just been using a rubik's brand recently, and since my birthday/Christmas is coming up I wanted to buy the Moyu weilong, and looking on amazon, I found one for around $9 USD, but all the ones I find on official speedcube shops are a lot more expensive. So... is there any way to get a cube that I can assuredly know that it won't be a knockoff, and still get it fairly cheap?

the thing with amazon is maybe at worst mislabeling and not getting the right cube. not necessarily a "knock off" just simply mislabeled. Personally I'd just spend the extra few bucks from to buy from theCubicle.us (or others) because of good shipping and service. also you know it's not mislabeled

I bought a zhanchi off amazon once and it was a legit cube. However, I would still recommend playing it safe and buying from somewhere more reliable, as other cubes I have bought from amazon have been questionable.

here you go http://thecubicle.us/guanlong-p-3636.html it is said to feel like an Yulong, or a ChiLong, and it is slower so you can be more accurate, which is good for beginners

I ordered a Fangshi once. Never got it. Got a refund, tho.

Amazon also is a competitive market, which drives prices down. Just because the price is lower doesn't mean it is a knockoff.

if you don't fully trust amazon you can always use Fasttech, and it's cheaper too

Aren't all cubes (other than rubik's brand) knock-offs?.....
