I recently was linked to a website from someone on a forum that has fraudulent rickenbacker style merchandise for sale.
The website is an ebay style website called ioffer.com.
The first auction I noticed was for what I am guessing are fake TRC nameplates
http://www.ioffer.com/i/Rickenbacker-tr ... r-48301116
The second auction is for cheap Rickenbacker Guitar Knock offs from a company called Eximious.
http://www.ioffer.com/i/New-Eximious-El ... 1-37566831
Couldn't find any legal contact info for Rickenbacker on the website but I am aware that a lot of the people here have means to get whatever info to the right people.

"Coarse" is right, Scotty...
The TRC guy has been banned from Ebay, so I guess he took his garbage elsewhere.

Yeah I shot off an email to that addy. Not sure if they are interested in the guitar seller as those rick-offs are insanely ghetto.
The 2 liter soda bottle vase looks to be better quality than the guitar next to it.

+1 on the 2 liter vase. Does it get better than that? Glad it wasn't Rickensoda.

I've seen some heavily modified 4001s that resemble that Opatik - badass bridge, J-bass pickups, hack 'guard. Would they be in contravention of Opatik's intellectual property rights?
