I dont see any reason to make it a fake, so I think youre good to go. But it is NOT an Elitist.

If it says "I" on it and its brand new, dont bother.
The older Korean models are good models, they are made a little different and look a lot like the fakes, but havent seen a fake one yet.

Sinmastah · 10-11-2008, 08:11 PM

I'm glad to see most of theose were taken down by eBay, or did not sell. The one that is still up I reported.

Unfortunately, I didnt get to one of them until there was only 7 minutes left, but it didnt sell anyway. The others got pulled, and glad to see em go.
