It got me thinking...I remember black fingers in the past, subtle but noticeable and definite tuning issues. Thought maybe I just got a bad batch.

We know they will fake guitars, but strings?! If they'll counterfeit strings, what else will they counterfeit? Amps? Pedals? Cables? Picks?

Another hazard of having products made in countries that don't respect copyright laws.

Buying from Amazon in itself supports and enables knockoffs and patent infringement.....

Amazon itself is producing knock offs......of many products.

Unfortunately as humans we're too lazy, self centered and dumb to change it......

Not me. No Amazon. I'm about done with Ebay as well.

Got a pack of strings locally today and compared them to the last 12 pak I got from ebay they look ok. But I have my doubts about the ones I got before that. Not buying from ebay again.
