OTOH, a buyer would have to be pretty dumb to buy a knock off "Zeiss" at half price or less with China as the country of origin... shocked

Easier said than done. This affects everything from golf clubs to scopes to just about anything else you can imagine. Most of the major golf companies have have multiple full time staff that do nothing but scour the Internet for counterfeit products. Finding them is only part of the problem, closing listings and shutting them down is another. It's a $multi-billion industry.
