    Guide: How to Spot Counterfeit Yonex Rackets
    http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63922

    in: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=235

    has been mentioned in this very thread before as well only a few pages back I believe ...

    There should also be something on the Yonex website but that doesn't work for me anymore (for the last half year even!). The guide above is a good start, could use pictures though (;)).
    Reading it again: did you mean for each and every one (of the lastest) yonex rackets?

    Welcome to BCBF.
    1) is real. however, after s/h, it is just a little cheaper than what you get in CAN and I would like to remind you that the HK racquet does not have warranty in CAN. Also you might get charged for duty tax.
    2) is real also, however, you might get nailed for duty tax.

    good luck.

    ps: if you look around BCBF, you will find where to buy at even cheaper price than those 2.

    All you had and have to do is use "yonextrader" as a search term [​IMG].

    Yonex Arcsaber 10 cheap price

    Hi Guys

    One of the guys from ebay sell a cheap Arcsaber 10. He said made in Japan and the code: 080513CH which is quite strange to me as far as I know the code CH is not for retail and the manufacturer date is 08/05/2001.

    Here is the link

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/YONEX-Badmin...ms=65:1|66:2|39:1|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50

    Can you guys please help me to see whether it is the fake one or not?

    Thank you very much

    (numbers seem fine though, nothing close enough to match it more accurately but seems about right. As usual ;))

    Undoubtedly, it's a fake.

    Why would anyone want to sell you anything at a huge loss?
    Why would anyone run a charitable badminton sales operation?

    A bit of common sense goes a long way in such matters :(

    Fake [​IMG]. The most obvious reason is: the serial number is too low [​IMG].

    This is one of the few that should be good: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Yonex-Arcsabe...trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1683|293:1|294:50

    The number is alright, however looking at all the past sales with roughly the same digits I would stay away. Pictures would be very helpfull in cases like these ;).
