| That site looks too similar to aliexpress, which is well known for fakes. Also, you can find there Tenergy for 15$ or even less. That can't be original. |

| I bought a fake tenergy a couple of years back. It doesn't look the same when you open the package. Also it at least it was a normal stiff chinese rubber it would still be worth the money, but that thing had a negative throw, it was the most horrible thing i had glued to a blade. |

I'm looking to get into some tenergy, and am willing to pay the full price. However I am wondering if you by chance know of a site that has them at a lower price? I'd be going from FH: Donic Acuda P3, BH: Xiom Vega Europe. Where those are both soft rubbers, would I be wrong for thinking T05 fh (maybe T05fx) and T64fx for bh? ------------- Xiom Europe Vegas|FH Tenergy 05|BH:Tenergy 05FX| |

| There is no company that controls access to their product line more than Btfly. If it is more than a couple of dollars less than the usual high price, be very suspicious. |

 Sometimes it is too obvious that the product is a fake. A friend had bought a sheet of Tenergy from our coach. The surface looked too shiny for a Tenergy sheet, the logo looked funny, but the funniest thing was that while the package was for a sheet of Tenerfgy 64, the sheet itself had a "Tenergy 05" logo on it........
 He did get a refund.... |

All of them get the items from taobao. If you do not mind taking the risks, you can order the items from taobao directly. ------------- Aurora ST: Rhyzm / Talent OX |

Check up your rubber genuinety. Pocket-size adviser, "candid pal" to tell you if the 70 dollar rubber sheet is a genuine Butterfly ptoduct or a fraudulent alteration. NIR spectroscopy, almighty sniffer to tell you whole truth. [:Yes:] |

"Is it possible, some of these cheap Tenegies are Factory rejects that they wouldn't dare sell at the $70 normal price ?" No. There is a difference between a forgery and a rejected product. The knock offs are made to look like the real thing. And it is a fraudulent practice.  FdT
