I know that many people seem to feel that Segways are overpriced, in that they can be made and sold for less money than we see in their MSRP. If the knockoffs cost nearly the same, then if nothing else, it justifies the current price...
Not necessarily. It could also mean that the sellers of knock-offs know the going price for the real thing, and set their selling price to be slightly sweeter. They could be making an outrageous margin.

Based on the prices we have seen for other Seg knock-offs built in China, I think that is likely.
