Re: [M100] counterfeit parts
I have. Plus Hong Kong, Nanchang, Guangzhou and a few other places. If something can be copied, scavenged or stolen and sold at a profit (working or not, legal or not), you can assume it's being done. It doesn't take much for something to be considered profitable, considering the cost of labor. >> Have any of you guys been to Shenzhen?
