Default SM57 fakes on eBay

Yeah, I got stung. However the asking price was not totally unrealistic
for a package of 3 units, so I gave it a shot.

To their credit Ebay/PayPal accepted my dispute and came out in my favour,
refunding the whole charge including freight, though requiring an onerous
bunch of supporting documentation to be faxed to them.

The weirdest thing was that checking out the Shure website for info on this
situation, there seems no obvious info there warning of the scam, or info to
help identify genuine versus fake mics.

I will be posting a PDF of a sheet I have prepared to spot the differences.
URL to be arranged.

Thanks that would be great. I'm looking at getting some Shure mics soon
and ebay was an option that I was looking at.
