Anyone Know Anything About These Two Sellers?

[Ink Stained Wretch]

On Amazon there's a seller called "YIFAN TOYS CO,.LTD" that's selling a 10 pack of Hero 616s for a quite low price. Some commentators say they're selling counterfeits, others say they're selling authentic Hero 616s. There's no feedback rating on Amazon, so all I have to go on are the comments.

 

And then there's "yespen" on E-Bay who's selling 10 packs of Hero 616s for about three times what the guy on Amazon i selling them for. The E-Bay guy has some negative feedback too.

 

I would much prefer to try the lower priced amazon seller, but neither seller is looking great. I'll note for perspective on this that I once bought three Hero 616s from a U.S. vendor for $5 each, and I appear to have gotten three counterfeits there. All three pens leaked and two literally fell apart.

 

Does anyone have any experience with either of these sellers? Yeah, I know, for some folks these are such low prices that it doesn't matter, but for me it matters. Thanks for any information that may help me on this.

I don't know either seller but under both purchasing methods I believe you are protected as a buyer. In any case, if it was a choice between the two, I would go the Amazon route.

I realize that it's annoying and time consuming to have to file a claim but hopefully that won't be necessary!

Well, I'm not so sure about Amazon, but I went for it. I figure I can't lose all that much money on the deal.

 

When I find out what happens with this purchase I'll post the information to this thread.
