It's not you or your friend. Also note, I am ALSO buying the racquet that you guys are selling too.

Well if you want any members to help you in the future, it's in best interest to answer.

If you reserve the racket first then it doesn't matter because you are first priority to the seller. Just give the BC member name

Alright here's the post again with the BC forummer's name on it.

I think this is a legitimate racquet, but I'd just like to be sure. Oh and any help on it will be most appreciated. Thanks people.

AWDracer,

Just to clarify, we also wanted the member's name to know if they are a credible or reliable person as well if you were wondering.

You may want to ask the seller to provide some pictures with shaft serial and cone date code. But from the looks of the seller, it's fake. I find it illogical to have a seller who focuses on digital products to be selling badminton racquets....

This is almost cetainly a fake.
But he's smarter than the average toerag by showing an almost credible price.
But several other faker's traits are ringing my alarm bells already, and no, I do not wish to elaborate.

If you REALLY want to know I'd ask the seller:
1) Confirm whether it is fake/oem or genuine.
2) Show me photos of the racket from top to bottom.
3) Show a pic of the serial number.
4) Assure me that this is the racket I will get if I win.
5) If he says it is genuine, does he accept returns if it is a fake/oem, and refund all my costs.

But I wouldn't bother. I'd look elsewhere for that elusive genuine racket being sold at a good price. I'd bet my genuine nuts (hazel) that this is a fake.

Klc28- Thanks a lot. What you said totally makes sense to me. I will just look somewhere elase.

I think also to point out with ebay fakes is that even if this one is designed very accurately to the real one (being priced at 99 USD), all those fake ebay sellers will mark as a "gift (lower than USD)". They will make it seem like they're doing you a favour so that you won't get taxed with the customs but I think it's to protect themselves seeing that they're pocketting 99 USD from it.

I'm sure it's a fake though. Ask for the cone code and the serial numbers. Only Yonex knows whether or not those racquets are fake. Don't be fooled by his 1000+ rep.

There is not even an actual picture of the racket. Although having "real" racket pictures does not prove anything but stay away for sure if the seller does not have actual pictures of the racket. Or better yet, stay away from ebay for Yonex rackets but there are several ebay sellers who in fact, do sell genuine rackets.

Actually, I've already bought this Racket (Yonex Armortec 700 - GR Version) for 80euro in ebay. The seller provides me an option to give it back without reason (within 14 days), and he also guarantee that the Racket is genuine. Nevertheless , I also want you guys to check it for me so that in case it is fake I can send it back, on my opinion it is real.

Here is the pics :

nltung,

you are fine. the racquet is good. it is an fair deal.

[nltung]

Thanks so much ! But I'd love to see another confirmation before I unpack and string the racket I'm a poor student who want to be so sure that he didn't pay 80euro for a fake

Thumbs up, it's genuine.
