Many online shoppers want to know if all of the Beachbody products like P90X, 10-Minue Trainer, Power 90, P90X Chin Up Bar found on ebay are illegitimate, knock-offs, copies, or fakes.
I logged into e-bay today and found someone selling the P90X Extreme Training system for less than $70! Ya, check it out by clicking on the underlined text.
NOTICE: This guy listed 100 of these and sold every one of them in about 3 days! However, he did not have 1 single feedback on the P90X product. He has a huge smile on his face because he now has a $7000 in Christmas cash and those who purchased may be out $70 each. He is probably considering investing in a few more DVD burners as well if he is in fact burning copies and selling them.
Below are a few things that you can do for peace of mind. Or just avoid the headache and purchase from a real Beachbody Coach and distributor like us at Focus On Fit or even one of our competitors like Extreme Fit Plus or Attract Fitness. I’d prefer you buy from a legitimate competitor who is a Coach than get ripped off by Joe Blow with a DVD burner.
If you find an item on ebay that has a really low price you need to check a few things about the item.
1. Is this seller only selling one item or do they have many available.
If the seller only has one item available, then the product is either used, or it is something that they purchased and never used or maybe it was a gift and they wanted to get rid of it. In this case you make the decision of this item being worthy of buying or not.
2. If the seller has several items available than you should do a couple of things. First, check the seller’s feedback rating and BE SURE to read the comments left on the seller. In particular you need to be sure that someone has purchased the item you are about to buy and that everything arrived as described and was in-fact an authentic item from Beachbody. The seller may have a high feedback rating because he used to sell stuffed animals that he made from home…. If the item you are looking to buy is not in his selling history than you might want to avoid his ad if it looks to good to be true.
3. Always know that anyone who has access to selling Beachbody Products (They are called Independent Coaches) only receive a 25% discount on all Beachbody products. So if the retail price of the P90X extreme training system is $119.85 and someone is selling 50 copies of it on ebay for $50 each, either he is loosing a ton of money (because his price is $90 before shipping and tax) or he is making copies of the dvd’s and selling them illegally.
Be very cautious when purchasing Beachbody items off of ebay. Ask the seller if they are a Beachbody employee or Coach. If they are not, then they do not have rights to resale any products from Beachbody or Product Partners, LLC.
