Hiya

Any news on sellers called racketworld or ladynicola? Having given up on the minefield of getting a good deal on a MP66 or 88 due to the number of fakes around, these 2 sell a lot of MP30's.

They both have excellent feedback based on large quantities, so I think they should be genuine. but hey, it never hurts to ask for experts advice....

Example auctions are:

racketworld - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...137132326&rd=1

ladynicola - no current auctions, but this is a recently completed one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...134351948&rd=1

Many thanks, again
Nigel W

sorry guys, i forgot to scroll down and look at the posted questions.

but yes, if the serial number IS stating 2006, its definitely fake.

Regarding to the MP30...

In "racketworld" thread, it indicated "Frame weight: 80g". I believe MP30 should be 3U, which is 85-89g. Also, I believe only MP88 from the MP series gives out 4u, right?

Do a search on the seller.
From previous posts, several forumers have said the seller sells genuine Yonex rackets.

Thanks for the help!

I tried doing a search for chockablocka but nothing came up. Thanks for the info though. I guess he's one of the few genuine sellers on ebay in the UK.

Good to know.

ignore their specs, as with most ebay users.

i'm assuming these guys sell the racquets, and don't use them.
the people who are knowledgable might not know how to mess with ebay, and so whoever posts them gets lazy, and copy-pastes specs, and ends up screwing it up.

This seller is selling fake AT rackets.
Reason: Yonex never produce any AT rackets in 2UG3.

This is a 10 racket lot, if you bid on it you will lose BIG!!

Well, obviously, someone didn't believe me (I emailed this buyer prior the end of the auction) and he/she bidded on the auction.

Here you go, $350 USD + Shipping fee are in the drain now.

Unless of course, that's their buying ID...

mm....$350 seems a bit out of character for that particular buyer...who seems a bit of a coin collector, karaoke person, and samurai jack?!

well...won't the ebay fees add up to abour $30-40?

Do you think it's fake or not? Cause if not it would be great for me.
Stay tuned.

That's not possible because when there is a sale, eBay will charge seller the final value fee, which would be about $15 or so for that kind of amount.

You can check this list before you buy. Obviously, the seller is on the list and he/she is selling fakes.

...hello...i'm not too sure if this means anything...but the picture in the ad is basically the same as the bbeshop MP88 pictures, like....look at this...

and then look at this...

the picutre of the full racquet wasn't working for some reason...but like...my guess is that he's just using the pic to advertise and then send you a fake...plus...the person's on that list that bluejeff made...so yeah...just my guess, cause like...my first reaction was that the pic was from bbeshop cause of the background and font in the bottom right and how familiar it was...but just a guess...sorry if i'm wrong
