i just got a notice for 2 oktava auctions i was watching being removed because "it infringed the copyrights of its owners". how ridiculous is that?

Most of them are chinese counterfeits anyway, read here http://debris.com/journal/1274 (read all 4 parts). No wonder eBay removed all these unauthorized Oktava auctions.
 
From what I've read, it only pertains to the Oktava MKL-012 SDC mic, not their LDCs like the 219, 319 or 2500.

do you work for oktava or something? i don't see the point of putting that as a reply to every thread that mentions them. everything i've read seems to say they're just as good if not better than the russian ones. really i just want some clearanced mics to add to my assortment.

My guess is yes. All 3 of hs posts are the same.
Everyone is buying the GC oktavas and not his so he is pissed.

Well, I certainly don't work for Oktava. But I guess you're one of these unlucky fellows whose overpriced Oktava auctions were removed... :D

Nope. Yesterday there were about 20 auctions for the MKL2500. Now there's ONE!
 
FWIW, I just looked at eBay, and it's loaded with Oktava mics, including 012's, 219's, 319's, and 2500's.
 
I think Guitar Center ran out of this MKL2500. So I am going to bid on for one on Ebay. Hopefully I can get it at around $100.

Edit: I was told by GC in SF that they will have more in stock next week. Not sure if that's true.
