Matt

that's pretty good, sigh...its 280+ here in Toronto but yeah, I'll probably get mine in hong kong.

You could possibly get the JP one for $200US which I did.

where did you get it? btw, if the jp is 200usd, then how much would other country codes be?

correct me if i am wrong but the engraved serial number looks kind of weird. I am guessing its fake.

Fake; TW racquets don't have those laser stickers.

Seller says Genuine, what you guys think?

When the seller say it is genuine, it means that he will insist the racket is geneuine even if it turns out fake. When that happens, Ebay/PayPal will side with the seller and use all kind of tricks to ensure you don't get a refund. For safty, best to buy from shops who are willing to take credit card payment directly. Then if anything goes wrong, your credit card prvider will side with you by default.

I know that 90% of racquets in ebay are fake. But look at the stick, there is SP. Is there really a NS9000X SP? Or could it be real racquet?! lol

Most likely fake,
- its prestrung
- if u look at the card thats suppose to go inside the frame, that "O" is
just not right
- look at the shaft pic and the "SP" logo ain't even allied to the center,
look up where the red 9000 words r
- its brand new with plastic wrapped and but original grip actually
covers almost the entire X on the yonex logo.. if the racket turns out
to be real then yy have horrible QC..

If you bought from Ebay and it's fake. I can give you 100% satisfaction gurantee that you are not going to get a refund. Also be prepared to spend a little more money and get sent round in circles.

fellow badminton fanatics:

I know that getting Yonex rackets via ebay or other auction sites is a means of trying to get a lower price. *which is wonderful if the racket received does turn out to be genuine Yonex* But what is a reasonable guess as to what proportion of yonex rackets sold via auction sites are in fact genuine?

If the proportion is low, then it's getting hard for me to fathom why potential buyers don't appear to be backing off those auction ads.

Actually, buying genuine racquets on ebay isn't extremely cheap. Its only cheap when you compare them to the retail prices here in North America but if you're comparing with prices in Asia, its roughly the same but its great because its shippped to your door

I see, but because of the people asking if the rackets they
bought on ebay are fake or not, and bla bla bla, I felt like I
had to help, because I also wanted to buy a racket on eBay
