Simply put they are illegal to sell in the US and I doubt you will ever find anyone selling them in the US.

Status: offline 		I would assume that someone is selling them somewhere, Although I don't agree with purchasing copied items. It is almost impossible for anybody to go after or sue a company or person for selling a copy. The cost of lawyer fees would most of the time cost more than what you would gain. If your lawyer is honest with you he most likely let you know this ahead of time. But like I said (If your lawyer is honest) kinda like spending a dollar to get a penny! Even if you do have a patent. I know from personal experience.

Status: online 		you can get those pipes from a couple of sources....I wouldn't advise it ....just like with the clone MCD jetpro pipe.......really thin and light compaired to the Jetpro (orignal)


Talk to ken on ebay he sells alot of FS and clone stuff He has a dom pipe right now ebay item 120280709984 (he's selling 29 of them)

but for what he wants for the clone pipe $149 plus $20 shipping .....I bought the DDM dom pipe for less on ebay $125 shipped from daves

you can buy the DDM dom pipe on ebay for $149 delivered ebay item # 280244850387

Status: offline 		We have reported the infringing listing to Ebay, and they will soon take it down.

DDM vigilantly monitors these illegal knockoffs, which infringe our trademark and trade dress rights as the designers of the pipe.

Those who sell AND those who purchase these items are exposing themselves to legal liability [and yes, we have pursued and will continue to pursue legal action against these theives].

We strongly suggest anyone who sees a knockoff item for sale to report it to us.

Plus, there's a good reason to report it to us instead of purchasing a counterfeit - we'll give you a gift certificate to DDM for your trouble, and for helping us stay able to create awesome products for you

Fear not, their typical turnaround time is 24 hours or so. If the user persists in listing counterfeits, Ebay cancels their account.
