eBay ID: redgtobabe

Description: Selling Fake Yonex MP-99
Link:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...111429610&rd=1
How to Spot: The yellow part after "99" should not exist on the shaft. The case color is wrong, the year is "8" in the serial numbers. There are two black grommets at each bottom sides where the genuine racket only have one at each side.

From the pic, I can't tell if it's a fake or not, as it's seems like a paste.

Getting a racquet with less than $13 - sounds like a very good deal for beginner. You can't even buy a backyard racquet in Wal-mart for that price.

The picture is a Victor Super Ti-10. Not sure if that's a mistake, or...

Hi, I've received my TT900 and I can confirm that the racket is indeed genuine. Better pick it up before they're all gone chickenpoodle

Wow! People are taking your words seriously, including myself.

All the SuperLight rackets are gone.

i picked up two of them.

thanks a lot!

as for others who may want one, check out his other sales.
he has a bunch of Airblade Tour's available. its a bit heavier, which should be better for stronger guys.

Hi Nutty, I have been using Carlton most of time. All my Carlton are made in China. Can you share some information of how to find out whether a Carlton is genuine or not?

**S430S** · 11-05-2004, 01:25 PM

Hi:
Does anyone knows anything about this eBay seller:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...136832063&rd=1

Do you know if the AT800 he's selling is fake or real?
Thanks!

The only way I knew that the TT900 was not fake is because my aunt works in Dunlop in Thailand, and as far as I know, they own Carlton there as well. I sometimes ask my aunt to get me some rackets from her company because she gets employee discount, so it makes it a lot cheaper. Also that way, I will know for sure that the racket isn't fake because I personally hope that the company that produces the rackets would sell its employees fakes

Hi S430S,

So far I know he did sell genuine Yonex racket. Product code is TH.
Because some club member bought some AT800 OF from him at ebay for $140.00 plus S&H.
Here, another seller that you can try. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MakeTrack=true
I bought my AT800 OF and AT300 from him.

Hi,

Same old question: fake or real?
ebay1

compared to (for instance):
ebay2

It's more about the type of shirts. Not that I'm considering a bid.
I have the 2nd shirt in the material of the 1st one. The 2nd one is 100% polyester whereas the first is 60/40 cotton/poly.
Probably are both fakes (of the 2 it's more likely the 2nd is real, so how to identify a real one that isn't jaspo?
What material should it be?

You have to understand not every shirt is made with the same material. Some shirts are all cotton, some are all polyster, some are half-and-half.
This common sense applies to the real world clothing as well. That's why we have silk, nylon, cotton,.....etc tons of materials out there for clothing.

Plus, different countries have different clothing styles (I am talking about Yonex shirts), and it's hard to judge fake/real Yonex shirts.

**demolidor** · 11-11-2004, 03:47 AM

Thanks for that bluejeff. But for the price I paid I don't really care whether it's real or not

. It looks pretty good, but to have the same model in different fabrics with different collars

The 100 poly, 60/40, 65/35, etc. you are right about (with different model shirts at least).
What about that coolfit tag? I can't really remember seeing coolfit on an official yonex site? (or is it older already)

Another example: ebay3
From the seller of ebay2, the same shirt as ebay1. However when you look at the pictures provided here, Ha & Kim seem to be wearing the poly one (type ebay2) and the one sold is the 60/40 one (type ebay1&3).
Probably you are right about different countries as the indonesian players don't seem to wear the poly ones (shirts never look shiny on pics [so far]).
