Fake RANE mixers

ost

I've been wanting to pick up a Rane TT56 but there seems to be a lot of speculation and mention of fake mixers without serial numbers or with fake ones.What's the deal? EDIT: I'd like to add the fact that there are currently 2 Rane ttm56 mixers for sale on ebay by people who've bought it from ebay seller " unique_squared_inc " in the past 6 months in both cases.

Yeah, I know it sounds odd but it doesn't really surprise me that much given the amount of shady business going on with these and some drum machines in the past couple of years.

Didn't a new 56 just come out?
