Hi everyone, I am new here and wish to share my experience with you. I won an Armotec 800 DF and OF on Ebay from "sportsinternational"... 200$CA I have yet to leave feedback to seller... Here are some pics, fake or real ? Thx for your comments
WOW, the counterfeiter(s) is so good now. Without those closeup photos, even i can't tell from 2 ft away. Yes, it's a fake LOL 100% certain
hum.. nice fake... i wonder.. the last pic looks lk a sumwut CSC mayb u got one fake n one real? cause u took mostly pics on nmly one of the rackets
wrapping too loose, pbsi logo too big, and serial number on the butt cap. definitely 100% fake. nice fake though
also, the "high modulus graphite+ultimum titatanium" and "ultra light weight/head heay blance/made in japan" lettering are suppose to be in black instead of white (unless my SP version AT800DF is the fake one).
100% fake. it looks like fake manufacturers are getting a better grasp of the meaning of the serial and date code, the date code is in the acceptable range: real: 4828293 220342SP http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=169110&highlight=220342sp#post169110 fake from radioheady, probably from the same manufacturer: 4828445 220342SP http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=167626&highlight=220342sp#post167626 however, this also means that if we see a suspicious racket with 220342SP as the datecode, there is more evidence that it is a fake.
Was wondering the same thing - my 800DE (Jp) doesn't have it...so I "panicked" for a while there.... LOL! Think this post should be in the equipment forum tho...not marketplace
I think it could be either in here or equipment forum because we are talking about Fake rackets selling here.
That just racket sort of confirms that sportsinternational is indeed radioheady2000... Both from Hong Kong Both has exact same 'quality' fake at800 with serial no - which btw should be a bit slanted. Both have lots of rackets to sell. from what i gather radiohaeady has 30 of de and 30 of of to off load. And when radio dissapear, sportsinternational came up..
One's man trash an other's treasure Thank you all for your comments ! "sportsinternational" is no longer a registered user from Ebay so your work has paid off. I had the racket strung with bg85/21lbs and it hits good, just dunno what a real one would be. I will now jump smash myself to the wall for buying fake Yonex. :crying:
That's awesome, we beat him down You can file a claim and request a partial credit back on eBay (Final price -25) and Yes, I have done it before and it works. You just need to use help link at eBay and it will guide you through. This way, you will not be losing too much.
