Mr.parko on eBay has a listing up now for a GD 600 SS with pictures of a DOVO SS (and ONLY a Dovo SS) and a little caption underneath saying "Similar to DOVO stainless steel razor in all aspects."
Beware: MrParko selling GD's (I assume) with Dovo pictures now.

Interesting, thanks for posting.
I think there is a sticky somewhere for posting these type of sellers id's?
Good catch!

Maybe it is the actual photo of a Dovo "replica".

That is a possibility, but I'd assume eBay would pull the listing if that were the case.
Can buyers sell "replica" knockoffs if it is clearly noted?

I'd think if they're stamping the brand they're knocking off's name onto the product it's gonna get pulled.
FWIW, there is no Gold Dollar "600" on the company website.

I emailed Mr. Parko and asked about it. If I get a reply I'll post it.
You can report him to ebay. I once reported a fraudulent seller and the advert was withdrawn. Ebay does not like cheating. And neither do we.

Someone told me they reported it to Ebay and Dovo a few weeks ago. Now it is up again.

Yeah, I actually just bought a 100 from him and he messaged me to warn me that due to weather it may be late. I just think this particular listing is pretty dishonest, so I was warning you guys about it. It'd be a shame if he got banned from eBay as he's the only source for <$40 GD's I'm aware of for anything other than the 200's Mystery sells.
There are two other sellers that I have ordered from. I ordered from Mr. Moonpen and the razor arrived with a note from Mr. Parko. Same return address. Must be same guy. Razor sold for less than Parko price. I have another one ordered from yaboo007. His have been selling for $9.99 shipped. I suspect it is the same seller now, as I also got an email from him with the warning about shipment could be delayed because of weather and earthquakes.
My question:
Does this razor have "DOVO" stamped on it?
Is it a Dovo replica?
His reply:
Thanks for contacting!about this question.I have asked the razors provider.they said this #600 razor are Original Equipment Manufacture for Dovo. the item's quality reach the Dovo's.

So he's saying that some Chinese company (possibly GD) is producing razors that Dovo is stamping and selling? Sounds unlikely to me.
He didn't clearly answer either part of my question. Could just be the language difference.
OEM can have different meanings:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_equipment_manufacturer

Isn't it against the eBay laws to sell replicas? 
I bought three GD's from Mr. Parko and that went well. But for these fake "Dovo" razors he seems to be saying all he knows is what the supplier told him. That doesn't sound totally honest to me. There is obviously more to the story and he should say so.
Maybe Dovo approached a manufacturer in China and had a test run of razors built. Then Dovo looks at the product and decides to not go forward. Then the Chinese company dumps the test run to a buyer.
