This happened about 10 years ago. I was out in Chinatown and came upon a knock off of a Transformer I wanted for a long time (G2 Laser Rod Optimus Prime). I bought him on the spot for 4$ and took him home. When I got back, I wandered onto Ebay and noticed it was selling for quite a bit of money. I went ahead and listed it (with specific mention of it being a knockoff) and left it there.
7 days later, it was sold for USD 50$.
I later found the company that was importing them and bought 30 from them. I went ahead and made quite a bit of profit (for a University student anyway) before getting out of that game.
