Ergo is $79, real deal?

So this red ergo sport is $79 which has me all excited because I really want one.  I have seen here and there on TB talk about fake ergos. If it is from amazon, does that mean its legit? Is it just ebay ones that are fakes?

It looks like that's sold by a 3rd party retailer (and not Amazon) - if they aren't on Ergos website as an authorized retailer, I wouldn't trust it.  I know fakes have been sold through Amazon 3rd party before

What's the return policy? If you're able to return it, I don't think you'd have much to lose.

I got a real ergo on ebay for $70 shipped to my door. They're not all fake.

Just FYI for anyone reading...BigBlueCastle is the only authorized Ergo retailer on ebay - anyone else selling new is highly likely to be selling a counterfeit.  Sadly, the counterfeits are getting harder and harder to spot - so be aware!!

I am going to order it - how do I know if it is a fake? Who makes the fakes and how do they get away with it?

Amazon does free returns on baby stuff which makes me feel better. Their cust serv is usually pretty good.
