    I recently bought an ArcSaber 9 off of Craigslist for $25 from an older gentleman, but I'm not sure if it's fake or legit. He didn't seem like a scammer and didn't attempt a hard sell. The ad was also very basic with no obvious clues to being fraudulent. The only thing that's really suspect is the price.

    Here is the imgur album

    The grommets looked dodgy.

    looks fake to me. The cone should have a silvery, triangle shape with the Yonex logo on it

    i would guess fake and these are my reasons:

    yonex hologram is not easily removed.

    serial numbers font looks wrong.

    yonex racquet bag/cover looks wrong.

    yonex overgrip even looks counterfeit
