Some more details would be nice. Assos is one of the most expensive cycling brands out there, so it could very easily be a case of "obviously too good to be true".

I for one tend to buy Prime items only. No hassle and fast delivery.

Prime items aren't immune from inventory contamination. Via Fulfillment by Amazon third party sellers can qualify for Prime also, and there's no guarantee that that inventory is any good.

Worse yet, when I worked at Amazon a fair whiles back FBA 3rd party merchants had their inventory mixed into the general Amazon pool, creating a hell of a inventory contamination problem. This was particularly egregious in products where just about everything sold by a third party was a knockoff (see: memory cards). You could buy directly from Amazon and receive knockoff goods by virtue of a third party contaminating the supply by storing their inventory at Amazon's warehouses.

I'm not sure if this has been fixed. I sure as hell hope so.

Good to know. I actually ran into that with a flashlight the other day. Prime product, but a lot of the recent reviews complaining it was a chinese knockoff. Caveat emptor.

Some Assos clothing prices at Amazon include $32 for a long jersey, and $62 for a long jersey/long tights pair.

How cheap is that? I'm not even seeing Nashbar jerseys for those prices...so yeah, that's fishy.

Jerseys start at around $150 (and that's buying from cheaper places in the UK), same for shorts. Pretty obvious at that point that they're fake.
