Goodnature fakes.

Has anyone noticed the number of cheap  copies of the Goodnature trap that have started appearing?

Some are even being advertised as "Goodnature" despite having only tell- tail Chinese writing on them .

Yeh . One of my customers is in the garden machinery business . Out of interest he  once showed  a Stihl chainsaw to a Chinese gentleman  at a trade fair .  After making  a  phone call the  Chinaman announced that with a minimum order of one pallet he could supply copies of the saw for £38 each including shipping!

I wonder how the  Goodnature copycats fit with Ebay's  rules on fake goods.

I suppose if they do get banned from the Bay of Temptation there are plenty of other selling sites.

I used to import specialist "tents" used to grow indoor flowers,used to get them from the shenzhen SEZ just over the border from HK,they were fakes rip-offs of bud box tents,I made a decent profit.You can't chase a copyright counterfeiter in China,they don't give a f*ck.If ebay stops selling them there's a dozen Chinese trading sites goodnature clones will be on.

One thing is that they are obviously copies of the rat version yet are being advertised for squirrels. One version goes by the name Black Bison but there are a few others  at half the BB price.

In my opinion the Gn24 trap is not a cost effective rat trap for the UK. It is an effective mouse trap albeit a very expensive one. The Chinese copies are cheaper and kill mice effectively.
