Read Before Buyin A Magic Bullet From Auction Sites

I'm a big fan of the magic bullet my last roommate had one and I absolutely fell in love with it and have been wanting one ever since just lack of money to buy one. Anyways was just lookin around on amazon decided to see how much they wanted for one and all and came acrossed people complaining about and all and almost everything they complained about was just stupidity on there part and the ones who complained that the motor died on them explains what I'm about to say next. There was a message on there from the company that actually makes the magic bullet and they had quoted that there were alot of (lack for better word bootleg) versions goin around on the auction sites that are not the original and are messing up bad. Just wanted to warn anyone if you are wanting on DO NOT BUY FROM AUCTION SITES!!!! anyways here is the input they wrote:
