I would love to add him in, but there is nothing wrong in his auctino description, and I need to have proof in order to add him in. (Something like the one you just pointed above is good enough

, however, if he is using real photos but send out fake rackets, then it will be hard to catch and hard to prove. )

babolat2004 example:

cheers BF i thought it looked kinda ..well wrong i wasnt happy wit the colours or writing on the frame.. well spotted with the placements mark i didnt spot them

My bad, the wrong decal placements only apply to the mian picture. the other pictures further down in the description checkout. The racquet looks pretty real to me, but the only thing that concerns me is the distance of the "SP" from the tip of the handle. Also i've never encountered the "authentic yonex sticker". can someone confirm this?

I just wanted to know if anyone has had any idea about the ebay seller lilierk?
lilierk didn't appear on the most recent list of sellers to watch out for.

lilierk may have been mentioned earlier but I couldn't find it.
Anyways, the auction states that the MP-99 is genuine and 8 pictures are posted to try to show the authenticity.

Also the serial number on the cone is 240642IP (so thats 24th of June 2004)
It appears to a real serial number, but, also list in the auction is a link to the badmintoncentral.com thead that talks about how to spot an authentic number. He could easly have just done some research and made/copied a real number. One odd thing about the serial number is that lilierk is listed as being in Singapore and the serial number says IP, shouldn't it say SP!!!

The auction also states that...

Please be reminded this is the genuine one, not like those fakes selling by many eBay sellers at this moment. Beware of those auctions without close up picture, they may be fakes.

So is appears that lilierk clearly saying that the MP-99 is 100% real and not fooling around with fakes. But, anyone can say that and just try to scam you.
The eBay item number is 7148445344 if you want to take a look.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

**wazzzzaaaas** · 04-10-2005, 09:05 PM

No, anytime when you are selling a fake, no matter you know it or not, it's illegal.

Plus he claims his MP100 has gForce Ti, which is for AT rackets.
He will be on my next updated list.

Wow.... that's too bias....

in reference to ^^ :: no, that is usually the case, esp on eBay.. in china, there is an abunance of fake racquets, these sellers from china dont accept paypal, only methods of payment that are non refundable and untraceable usually.. they try to gain your trust, but if i were in china, id be doing the same if i had the opportunity to sell fake racquets for big $$ to stupid and naive north americans
