    I am buying a racket from ebay from the seller: sumai03

    It is an AT800 DE

    I already own one of these and was looking for a backup that was cheaper...

    So i am thinking about ebay

    What do you guys think about this seller and are there any hidden fees/taxes that I will have to pay? besides the $20.00 shipping?

    I bought a AT800 DE from him and got a real one. Only 3 things to watchout.

    1) His stringer does not string 2 pieces and do not string main and cross @ different tension. Tide off knot might not be in right position.
    2) Racquet is TH distribution code. In case of racquet break, you need to send it to Thailand for replacement
    3) Make sure you specify the grip size in BOLD or you might get a right size as you asked.

    S/H is pretty good and no hidden charge.

    Good luck.

    It's safe to buy of Sumai03.

    I've bought of him before and everything is genuine.

    He's good. You may want to try Tum98, he ships from the U.S. PM me for more info.

    Should us start a thread "Honour Ebay Sellers"?? I think it should be shorter and more convenience than the E-bay auction watch, E-bay acution watch is already too long and hardly to find datas... :D

    TUM98 might be a little cheaper than SUMAI03 if you include the shipping costs too....
