Dragon fly 'replica' pics

I don't know what to say...
To each it's own.
Let's not make this site become the pirate bay of knock offs.

There is pretty good google ranking pointing to this site when you search for rotary tattoo machines.
I wouldn't want to encourage anyone into buying knock offs.

One thing is to make someone aware about a knock off and another thing is to have full reviews and encouragement to buy them.
I think non of the builders here would like to see their machine knocked off on this site and seeing that there are followers that would
buy them.

That would be the end of many of us, builders on this site.
I can't imagine the amount of work and money DragonFly spent to create their machines.
Anyone with a hint of respect should stay away from "non originality"

This is just my opinion.
I may be wrong

I agree the site shoudlnt be a promotion place for the knock offs sure, and my comment about how much they cost etc was really to point out that the money involved on my behalf is not about buying to sell etc, I wasnt sure where to put the thread and I'd be happy if it was moved behind closed doors so to speak hence my opening sentence on the thread.

I want to show folk on here that it is a genuine 'buyer beware' issue. From a distance they may look like the real thing but when you get a good close up of the machine rather than the Auction site pics people get to satisfy that curiousity of how its built/Build quality etc without having to part with the dollars! Its also interesting for those builders who have been ripped to see closer up what effort if any has gone into the knock offs but dont as of yet have 1 to hand to comment further. If they are looking in I'll happily email em pics from whatever angle they want to see it.
