On a side note, when I watched the Xtar counterfit video, the next one was a failed assassination attempt on some Bulgarian politician...the comments were mostly criticizing the politicians on the stage who beat the crap out of the assassin....but, the camera panned back, and there was a flashlight just sitting on the stage that looked familiar. I think one of us was there.

To get the real thing just buy from a trusted vendor rather than trying to save a few $ on eBay
SBF is a good spot for XTAR
Or MD-lightsource
Etc.
Having a trusted dealer ensures you won't get left in the lurch.

so they do have some kind of laws over there that protects people from fraud.
guess that means that they will have to sell the rest of the clones overseas

Hah hah, that's funny.
I think their anti-piracy law applies only - in practice - to Chinese products, U.S. products are open game for everyone.

Has there been internal comparison pics yet?
I did hear that if you send the company your sn, they should be able to tell you if it's genuine or not.

Hah, yeah, I just bought an MP2s.
You notice the packages they were handling of that unit in the video look very different from the genuine XTAR packages.
Mine came with a card with a serial number on it like Hank is talking about.
They also have a label stuck to them that you scratch like a lottery ticket. Under there is a number. You enter that number on their website and it tells you if it's legit. They also tell you if someone has entered that number before so you know it's not been copied.
