That is the joy of car boot sales - half the sellers don't know what they are selling!

Hope you have checked out the Google history of fakes for that particular model!

Same, way as the fake Sennheiser cx300's worth about £40 quid for the real ones. Fakes were selling on our local car boot for £10 - £15

You'd be suprised at what some people will fake for a quick profit. Trading standards have been known to confiscate goods from market stalls that are copies of trademarked items which retail at less than a tenner for the original but the fakes are on sale for a couple of quid.

Actually, thinking about this, I watched a programme recently (possibly Rip Off Britain or Watchdog or something similar) where Trading Standards had visited a car boot sale and ended up confiscating a load of fake headphones. Hmmm.
