Anybody know if they are legit?

Been wanting the 17 inch coil just don't want to pay full price.
Your kidding, right?
Says Ships and sold by Amazon if you have prime account get in two days or less?

I paid 300 for mine from a reputable dealer, tho shipping was extra.
Personally, I'd be happy to save up a bit longer and pay the extra to buy from a known reputable dealer. Preferably the one you bought your machine from.

I could see it happening. They gave them away for a long time with the purchase of a 3030.

Well it seemed to good to be true.

Today the price is $369.87 don't know if amazon priced them wrong or a one day sale.

I'll check my dealer and see what he can do.

I didn't want to end up with a china knockoff and missed this deal.

There really isn't much of a risk except for your time to return it.

Amazon is great for returns or exchanges. I've only done 1 or 2 over the years and it was painless. As soon as the free return mailing label gets scanned in at the post office, your account gets credited the refunded.

Prices on items may change multiple times during the day, up or down, depending on how many vendors are selling the item and how many items each vendor has up for sale.

Assuming that you have the expertise to tell that you have been sold a fake. A lot of fake stuff is getting pretty hard to tell.


And yeah, I don't care for Amazon.
I quit Amazon after they sent me a nastygram out of the blue one year threatening to report me to my state for taxes on purchases. I had bought almost $80 worth of stuff from them that year! Its absolutely none of Amazon's business; its between me and my state. I don't do business with snitches.

I have never heard of a fake coil for the CTX. The CTX coils has a special chip in it so it may be difficult to clone it.

amazon does sales like that don't know if that was the case with that coil or not. I bought a phone case that never got shipped and they gave me my money back big difference in a 10.00 case though.
