Re: State of Bogus Knock Offs?

I'm still seeing the knockoffs in new or nearly-new condition at live auctions, flea markets and junktiques stores, so it's definitely worth looking carefully for deliberately misleading brand names such as "Selner" or "Baffet" and for outright fakes with phony labels. Even if every manufacturer of counterfeits got put out of business yesterday (and I suspect that didn't happen...), there's so much crookware out there already that I expect it to keep right on appearing in the marketplace for the forseeable future. Reputable dealers and music stores won't sell fakes new or take fakes in trade. That means the victims will keep on dumping the junk in those "anything goes" markets. There's no downside to staying skeptical.
