    Fake racket; check my list of fake racket sellers in "ebay watch" thread.

    How much of difference?
    If you want to sell it afterwards,
    You can get around $80-120 USD if your racket is genuine;)
    You will get around $5 USD if your racket is fake
    (Assuming racket is in good condition)

    I am not joking. Fakes are sold in China for $12 USD per racket. Considering its cost, when you try to sell it later on, you will NOT get more than $10 for that.

    The ebay watch thread is at the market's section. One of the top threads in Red.

    Attitude? I am just telling you the truth. Ask anyone here in the forum about me, I always take genuine/fake racket things seriously. If you can't handle the truth, why ask? This is the real differences in numbers between the genuine racket and the fake racket. The value differs a lot.

    Difference in rackets? For fake rackets, you will have no warranty and there is no guarantee in quality. So, you might break it as soon as in 1 hour (it's normal for fakes) and there is no way to get a new one back since Yonex will not honor the warranty.

    I have checked the website of Yonex Japan to see whether there is any AT400. You are right that there is no AT400 in existence.





    I have picked up this information of AT400 from cooler at post #180 (Page 10) in this thread:
    Perhaps cooler can explain this puzzle.

    That's good news :)

    By the way, don't forget to give him a Negative feedback point and indicate he is selling fakes. So, other future buyers won't be trapped by him!:)

    Seems like he already had a negative feedback on Jan 11, 2005 stating the buyer recieved a fake. So please, always read the feedbacks before bidding.

    I am in USA, so I can't help you.:eek:
    However, we have tons of people from Canada in here, you can always search around and see if other threads have the information you needed.

    There're quite a few selections from the local stores in Vancouver. Perhaps you could give them a call to see if they're willing to ship to Kelowna.

    1. Tads Sporting Goods
    2. Rackets and Runners.
    3. ClearOne
    4. FlexPro
    5. Abbies.

    There's a thread somewhere with all their contact numbers.

    Also, the badminton clubs like VRC has an in-house store that sells shoes, rackets, re-stringing that have racket selections as well.

    Good luck.
