Someone on here just bought the same brush from that seller and it was fake.

Here's a great detailed guide for recognizing a fake 187.

oh no!!!! File with Paypal...do it ASAP if you want to get your money back.

You know what really disgusts me is that ebay doesn't do anything to that guy. Since he's a Power Seller (which means he sells a lot), they do nothing...they let him sell his fake crap again!!! I'm so pissed off!!

hi,

but where the real 187 brush are made?? and is it true that there is a special market for the US and another one for China/japon??

a seller told me that the brush is a real mac, but not made for the US market, is it possible??

Well, I'm in the US, I bought my brush at a MAC counter, and it says "Japan" on it.

Some of my brushes were made in France, and I think some Germany, but I got them all at counters/freestanding stores, so they are real. But, I believe the 187s are made in Japan.

No, it's not possible. A 187 brush is the same worldwide. Your seller is giving you a pack of lies. To be expected as folks who knowingly sell counterfeit goods aren't exactly honest, they're criminals. Which seller was it?
