The point always comes to eBay. That's basically the first point of sale, people always complain about eBay, stop bitching and do something about it. If you stop eBay from selling tattoo equipment you stop most scratchers as well, it's going to be harder to buy copied machines, ink, needles etc. But i see knowone from any large tattoo equipment manufacturer doing anything about it, just complaining on forums and being totally bitchy. These top manufacturers have the contacts to do something about it but they don't they just sit, watch and bitch. If you want change sort it out otherwise suck on ebay and the Chinese copies. Most tattooists if not all will stand with top manufacturers on this. It just takes one to make a stand and then pass the word........
