Echo 360TES are there fakes around?

[Luckyeleven]

Looking out for a top handle, stumbled across some good reviews for the echo 360tes, did a little price search came across this:

Trononneuse lagueuse ECHO CS360 TES

 

389€ delivered with an extra chain chucked in

which at todays rate is around £270 sterling.

 

Being as normally it works out cheaper to buy in the UK and ship it here to France, this has surprised me!

 

The cheapest I can find in the UK is around £370 before shipping.

 

Could it be a fake? I believe the site to be reputable but the price difference seems amazing.

 

Also anyone have anything new to add on this saw? aside from the fuel filler caps being small

It's not a big enough market for someone to offer fakes of the Echo.

Hi Lucky11

 

I think that Lambin dealers are pretty sound, I havnt dealt with them but know of people who have. They are in France (as opposed to Luxembourg as some dealers are to escape EU regs)

I dont think they would do a fake, which I think is taken very seriously in France - guillotine perhaps?
