Are you hoping to be the lucky one and get a great bargain? Well you're not.

That sounds a little harsh, but people never seem to learn ... Time to be blunt about it

. What seller is that anyway so the rest knows who to avoid? Although you should avoid it (eBay, auctions, classifieds) altogether unless you are 100% sure, not even 99.9%.

its an individual seller
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
suspect he has been duped as well.

I suspected the shaft number was too low - but leave it to the experts at this forum..

Cheers anyways

Not only that, but this "879191JP" represents the production date and distribution region, in this case the 87th day of the 91st month of 2009 (87/91/9)

destined for Japan (obviously not in this case since it's just a fake from China). The one item left looks pretty dodgy as well looking at how crooked the yonex logo is printed on the bag. And unless adult toys are the object private feedback is to be frowned upon as well

I'd suggest a search of the forum before posting... plus for that price you might be better off buying from mybadmintonstore.com but up to you if they are legit.

I don't understand what you mean... and at your web site... it not best price... i dot at 190 with string... so if some can just check if serial is ok...? I posted on the other post but they said to post here...

This is indeed the correct place for eBay purchases. Due to the number of fakes on eBay, easily 95%, it's the "enter at your own risk" teritory.

In this case though it looks good

, answering nmop7584's question at the same time. These items are in NA already for roughly the same price so it's either or really. The only benefit you'd have ordering from the place druss mentioned is that you can choose your own string and tension to your preference (don't know if they go above the recommended tension).

However you still need to inspect the other physical features of the racket carefully and compare the specifications to ascertain its total legitimacy or authenticity yourself.

That's it. The release date for Yonex Arcsaber Z-Slash was 19 September 2009 if I remember correctly. Definitely September 2009 ... production started in August 2009.

They coulda at least make it less obvious. It couldn't of been produced in 87/91/09 do you think?

Just curious if anyone has bought from this guy before? Cant tell if his stuff is real, the price is set just so that its about 50ish below retail but not so cheap that its instantly considered fake, i've read some of the feedbacks, while majority of the people gave positives, some did say they've gotton fake rackets.

heads up and all feedback are appreciated

cheers
