Avoid lelong.com.my at all cost. I was once a victim of Joey Liew of lelong.com.my. I have even complained to admin of lelong.com.my and unfortunately it has fallen on deaf ears. I am not even afraid to say that almost all ICE products in lelong.com.my are FAKES! So, u people be very careful especially dealing in lelong.com.my. Today, this Joey Liew is still selling a lot of fakes from JL Audio, Rockford Fosgate, Soundstream, Nakamichi etc. In summary, lelong.com.my the Petaling Street of cyberspace.:baring_teeth:
It is unfortunate to hear about your bad experience. However, it's not fair to quote "avoid lelong.com.my at all cost". lelong.com.my is only a portal for sellers to gather, for buyers to surf and buy. Just like a building owner renting spaces for traders to open a shop. They have tried very hard to filter out all unlawful or harmful items from being advertised there, to me it is already a very good job. Always use common sense before buying. Good examples would be the unbelieveable low price, hidden or incomplete item description and such. It is in my opinion, you should not blame the whole bucket of apples useless if you find one or two apples rotten. There are still many reputable sellers around online for you to purchase stuffs at your convenience. If still you have doubts about that particular seller, you can always try to contact the seller and check about the authenticity of a particular product. In fact you can also check his trader ratings if available. If all still doubtful don't purchase the product from that seller. Simple.
Fake items are in the market due to several reasons.
1. Consumers always wanted lower price.
2. Unaffordable genuine products.
3. High Tax
4. Weak Currency
5. Uneducated Consumers & Unethical Sellers
6. Willing buyer, Willing seller.
But I always buy fake DVDs... Hahahaha.. because I am, as the reasons above. Wanted BIG, CHEAP & GOOD!.. sometimes... not that good also nevermind.. coz cheap mah...
