I’m in New England and was looking for usb C chargers on Facebook and offer up

Half the listing are AirPod pro gen 2s for $80-120 bucks. I mean at Costco they are $200($50 cheaper than Apple)

Is it a scam or people are just stealing them and selling crazy cheap?

I did notice a lot of usb c cables and chargers people are trying to sell don’t say Apple on them. So are knock offs but if the AirPods are knock offs they wouldn’t load as AirPods?

These are Apple’s most cloned devices. I highly recommend checking out this video, which thoroughly explores 1:1 clones and provides valuable insights before making a purchase.


Warning: he does sound like Borat, very nice!

thanks !! the prices are just insane. I know in my neighborhood they started pretty much locking everything. You need a store associate to get you anything you might want now haha. Stealing is so bad.

It's like I get it. It is sort of gross to use headphones a stranger used. But they are selling these things for less than half what new ones on sale go for. They had to be Clones or stolen.

You're welcome! In these times of soaring living costs, we all need to be mindful of how we are spending our money.

The unusually low prices do raise suspicions. When shopping online, it's a good practice to approach such deals with caution and maintain a healthy level of skepticism.
