The seller in question was selling items they didn’t have at a nearly 50% markup.

    Yes, and it’s basically a given that most of this crap is counterfeit, unless it’s a scheme as dopey as simply ordering it from Amazon and shipping it back to you. Which still isn’t a guarantee that it isn’t counterfeit, come to think of it.

    That profit margin for the drop shipper has to come from somewhere.

    And this is coming from someone who deliberately orders counterfeit crap. (Yes, knives, how did you guess?) But if you’re okay with that you may as well buy it directly from whoever is making the knockoffs in the first place via Aliexpress or whatever and pay a lot less in the process.

      Me? Order an obvious fake of an overpriced knife so that I can decide if I like the design in person? Nah, never!
