Yes I have had a few back and forths with the particular seller - one to point out that his add says NEW! , which he is changing ... and he only has the one used unit .... but he was less compliant on removing the BJFe part .... in a way the best medicine is to leave it up there and have it not sell as happens with most of them until they are at give away prices leaving the message that there is no profit in cloning these ..... but still Id much rather not see it at all .....

Once again, BJ and Donner show tremendous class. This is yet another reason I will be a lifelong BJFE/Bearfoot customer.

As we would expect.


Cloning seems inevitable, but some folks just have no sense. Especially if they refuse to acknowledge the difference between cloning for personal experimentation/use v. commercially profiting (or trying to) from someone else's work without permission.

JHS has been doing this clone for awhile....he called it the suproman or something like that a few yrs ago.
The guy seems to be a freestompboxes profiteer i would imagine.
anyhoo, the vibe i get from the company is not in my interest.

If it's not for profit, why would be build it exactly like Bjorn, right down to the knobs and lettering?
