eBay Auction Watch & Shopping Enquiries

Don't even try. This is a scam for bad dealer to buy good rating quick. It is a total waste of time. Here is how the scam work. Bad seller buy/sell these info from other bad seller for small amount (ie. $1 to cover the listing fee) Then the can get to power seller rating very quck with small cost. Then the bad seller list a couple of expensive items to sell at very low price. If you win and pay for the item, kiss your money good-bye. My advice is not to waste any time with those info. If I am a dealer with those info to get cheap racquets, I would use it to buy and sell racquets myself, I will not sell the info to you so I will get more competitions. Good luck to you and have a nice weekend.

I bought my AT 800 DEF from this guy and I just realized that AT 800 DEF is G4 on badminton.net and his is G5. Is their a G5 or is it fake?

No, G5 is very common in Asia.

He does sell real Yonex racket. Like bj said: G5 is very common in Asia.

excellent, only thing is that he doesnt pack his rackets well

2U AT800???

why do people buy rackets without knowing whether something is fake or not?

It says that it is 4U 3G in bold red at the bottom.

**bluejeff** · 03-11-2005, 07:21 PM

The seller stated the country code for the rackets is "SP".
However, I don't think 4UG3 is available in "SP" area.

(It should be 4UG4 and 4UG5 only in whole Asia)

Therefore, I don't think he is a honest seller; in other words, those are fake rackets

**bluejeff** · 03-11-2005, 07:27 PM

Also, the description of the racket is very wrong.

ie: 4U AT800 rackets can be strung up to 24 pounds (not just 22 as he listed).

Here is a very misleading auction.

The bag looks real, but I just can't stand the lie saying Yonex only makes 400 of this bag. When I was in Taiwan, many people bought all of 4 colors of this mini bag. This bag is widely available at Yonex stores in Taiwan, and if it's only limited to 400, I don't think it is possible for us to buy that many. Plus not couting the numbers in Japan.

That's just a lie to get people buying, and I don't like that at all.
(If it's really 400, it will be a lot more expensive)

Technically, it's a false advertisement, and it is illegal.

Loose plastic around handle suggests it's fake. Sellers feedback isn't very impressive either...

The serial number in one of the photos is fake as well. it says the racket was made in 2006.

I searched and I don't think they have been mentioned before.

elegantsurplus is pretty good, I bought from them before, I would recommend them highly....
