Chinese knock off of a rupes?

Wow, talk about a blatant rip.
Looks like they just wrapped it and made a mold and right to production.
Would like to see how well it works but I would still buy the original over this. I rather see some imagination.
The price is too high IMO as well for a copy.

Striking resemblance to this one: http://www.ansiauto.com/showpro.asp?ArticleID=7487
For $275 I think I'd just bite the bullet and get a Rupes.
Thought for sure the MaxShine unit would be offered by Griots, but haven't seen anything as yet http://maxshinechina.com/product_show.asp?Bclassid=25&id=83

It's probably the same thing, sourced from China but marketed under their name.
BTW, Ansi Auto have reportedly appointed many distributors worldwide and the physical distribution is likely to to commence from July (which matches the date mentioned in the Gloss-It website).

I looked around their (gloss-it) site and the mark-up is crazy! $399 for a basic old model Cyclo? $169 for a PC. I bet the Rupes knock-off cost them under a hundred bucks.
No thanks, I'll wait til other rebranders get in and offer a better price, Harbor Freight? you listening??

I agree the knock-off is over priced for what it likely cost to make. We have seen this before with prior DA's.

Yeah, like $75 a piece.
I used to get these offers all of the time from China to try and get me to sell these types of polishers. One even begged to send me a polisher to try and then wanted me to pay to ship it back to them. After using it I knew it was something I'd have a lot of complaints and returns on so I passed and just kept it. Have not touched it since.
