Fake Kronos 2?
I have found a listing for a Kronos 2 88 in Europe for only 600 euros which would be roughly 700 USD. That sounds like a very attractive price, a little too attractive.
I am wondering if it could be a fake from China or maybe stolen.
Does anyone know if there are knockoff Kronos on the market?

My experience is too good to be true adds are for phishing phone numbers etc. or, for knocking someone over the head and taking their money. B careful.

No, there is no magic copy machine or replicator that will 'copy ' the Kronos.Fat Bastard wrote:Thanks for the answers!
So...I guess it probably is some sort of scam
But still I am very curious if anyone knows if there is a fake Kronos on the market like say an iPhone copy etc?
There are costly physical steps, outside and in . As we know, most 'copy factories' copy the 'easy ' stuff.
I don't believe there is much chance of a quality fake. A junky glaring amateur copy much less quality, long shot maybe. I doubt it would be worth the trouble.
I would scratch the thought

My concern is that it's a DOA Kronos. Completely blown out circuit board. Etc.
The price might actually be a good one for the remaining parts.
