Fake or real

there is a guy selling TPS-L2 with brand new boxes. This boxes looks completely new.
I have several TPS-L2 with original box.
I realized several discrepancies from what I have to this one
I am going to place pictures and if you have TPSL2 please look at your box and place your comments

 

The USA tag is placed on right upper corner but this one as you see placed the tag on left lower corner

 

Even if you look at the Japanese version the tag is still on right upper corner

 

The tag of USA or Japan is glued to the box really good and you cannot separate it. This one is a simple sticky that you can remove with no resistance

Now pay attention the tag itself. This one shows a clear margin the original one shows the tag was perforated around like stamps.

 

This brand new one comes with no styrofoam insert. But comes with free cassette offer, customer inquiry card, Sony warranty and booklet.
I saw discrepancies again
Will post more pictures again

So be careful for now, I am still doing research and will keep you posted

 

well, due to latest TPS-Ls- prices it wouldn't surprise me if there's copies appearing (china ?) - there's almost nothing that won't be copied, if the price is right.

remember all those fake rolex-watches - by now you can't even tell the difference with the "good" copies, and in watch-business they copy almost any watch,
all those camera-copies, iPhone- copies etc. etc.

maybe kim jong un has'em made - to finance the atomic- program (...because the wannacry- action failed) ? nice conspiracy-theory

 

The Walkman logo doesn't look right, the font seems a bit strange.

 

everything about the one in question screams fake. There is no question about it.

 

yes. still selling on internet.
I will post pictures of accessories came with this package to show you

So be careful and do not buy fake item

 

yes. The easy way to look at it is to pay attention to "n" in the logo to see the obvious difference font

 

well, and then again it's also a question of the price of this box - if it's really cheap it might be ok for your own collection - as Boodokhan says, we must be careful...

 

I cannot find them in eBay selling history.....??

 

search "TPS-L2 with box" and choose wordwide option

 

ladrillo09 is the one and only i found.....

 

yes. see the available boxes he has all have same characteristics
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/SONY-TPS-L2-...822568?hash=item4d5a05f8a8:g:8FIAAOSwIaFZGpgO

see how many people bidding on this fake item

 

well, the unit might be real, about the box the seller even says it's repro...

 

Fortunate for me I don't like these bulky walkmans, if it had been 50 quid id have bought one, 600S for a fake there having a laugh but 99% of people wouldn't have a clue, nice spotting boodo, excellent work

 

ahh that sorts that one out, thanks auto, if stated as a repro I see no issue here apart from the outrageous prices
