Lots of unanswered questions remain!

Essentially, someone decides to 'copy' a known successful product. Big Surprise and not unexpected! This is done within every market segment ranging from Electronics to garments. Look at E-Bay and even the warnings regarding copies!

Our units are distributed by 'Legitimate' distributors worldwide as listed on our web-site:

[ http://amszstore.com/main/pages.php?page=distributors ]

These are not home-based phantom establishments that dodge the tax-man and have no store-front, telephone, long-term standing in a community, etc. They just come and go for a quick buck and leave said consumer standing wondering what just happened!

The pictures definitely show a variance in what appears to be cast materials to start off with. Given the price it is a no brainer that shortcuts are evident! Any recourse with the vendor will not happen.

Consumers will do their due diligence as usual and Caveat Emptor as they say.

P.S. good luck getting them outside the Euro Market - interesting limitations and a very small market segment!

Regards,

Vuk@AMS
