Harry Potter Knockoffs

RyGuy · May 2012

I was doing my nightly stroll on ebay when I noticed something odd about a badly photoshopped image, and opened the listing and looked closer. The Bootleggers in China are now replicating the new Noble Collection boxes :O It looks almost exactly like the regular boxes except the inside has black silk. Of course the wands are shitty and badly painted as these knockoffs always have been. Always be wary buying wands off of Ebay, HPF. These lowlifes are trying to swindle their cash out of you...

Ive reported their whole account, all of these items are so badly made it isn't even funny.

Ash · May 2012

Wow, I wouldn't have a problem if they were honest about the item and stated it wasn't official or if the price reflected the quality lol, but for that you may as well get an official Noble one. It's a shame because plenty of unsuspecting people will be fleeced.

Exactly man

Its terrible. Unsuspecting people will pop into this listing and more than likely think it is an official noble wand. I'm trying to get the word out on various Potter forums about these and get the word out so people don't end up buying.

Thanks Ry for looking out for everyone. I love how they want you to leave a positive and 5 star rating :-O

Those look pretty sweet though, should I buy 'em?

If you want cheaply made, casted pieces of resin that will bend and snap due to a gust of wind. Paint slathered on the item and ships away with barely a touch. A box made of thin cardstock and synthetic silk lining that frays everytime you open the box then, go for it! haha these are even more expensive than the Noble wands lol BarnesandNoble has them for $22 a piece right now lmfao.

aaron · May 2012

LOL ♥ Thanks for looking out for me bud!

silverarrowgriffin · May 2012

I've seen the Deathly Hallows necklace knock off :O

RyGuy · May 2012

LOL ♥ Thanks for looking out for me bud!

anytime hahaha :-bd

I've seen the Deathly Hallows necklace knock off :O

that one isn't too shabby if you can get it for $3 or less lmao. Its pathetic how these leeches operate on ebay. -_-

silverarrowgriffin · May 2012

i almost bought the elder wand knock off :O

Ash · May 2012

Well personally I'd recommend the Deathly Hallows knock-off necklace compared to Noble's overpriced money grabbing nonsense.

^^^ Ash is right lol. $3 > $35.99 and you get a cheap box.

That's why I strive for bargains on Noble stuff because well, sometimes they really hit the mark with items. The DH necklace is nice, but it definitely does not feel like its worth $35. At best $20 ( I got mine for $18

)

One thing though is the WW sells the necklace for about $12 now, and also Time Turners. Its a great idea to get one of these cheap and still have an authentic collectible. Theres also a Horcrux Locket Sticker Book that comes with the Locket and a mini sticker book that retails for $8. It is the same exact Locket that Noble sells, just made of plastic.

I have the WB Japan Time Turner

RyGuy · May 2012

I have the WB Japan Time Turner

Yesss!!! That is the most Authentic version of the Time Turner. I am thinking about doing a video of that one soon

I didn't buy the noble Time Turner and to be honest, I really don't have any intention on it either. haha

Richard · May 2012

Thanks bud lol (:

I never buy wands from ebay though. I wait from geat deals from wbshop.

RyGuy · May 2012

Thanks bud lol (:

WBShop isnt too bad, but nearly everything has a $10 markup. Ive been on a roll lately. I snagged Cedric's wand (Not Noble, made in Japan) for $50 which is a steal. Krum's wand for $16, Narcissa's for $18, and the The coin set for $15 (With an added bonus, years 1-3 boxed set.)

You just have to look in the right places for the right things haha.

Rich, this actually might intrest you:

What does the WBJapan time turner look like? I have the Noble Collection one.

It's smaller and it's more accurate

Here is an angled shot of it. It has the words engraved into the rings instead of printed like the Noble version. The size is a bit smaller and is to scale to the movie version. I'll make a video this weekend and post it

SarahElizabeth! · May 2012

Ahh, okay!! Thanks. I reaaaally want to wear my DH Necklace and my Time Turner, but I am afraid I will ruin them. So until then, they are in their stands (which are pretty cool).
