its obviously a counterfeit racket and at $35usd...its pretty obvious

It's probably because he doesn't want to be reported.

In any case, this isn't the place for such a discussion.
Please go to the the ebay shopping enquiries thread

LOL

Some people actually do. I remember seeing one Chinese ebay seller who stated that the rackets were "clone made" in his listings.

Hmm with my experience with rackets so far im afraid that your racket is fake. the cone code says it was made in 2008, and i tbelive that they have stop production on nanospeeds (i think) but also for only 100 bucks? that cheap for a brandnew racket, new ns9k are 230 a peice so yah its a FAKE.

possibly the right conclusion, but for probably the wrong reason. afaik, the NanoSpeeds are still in production and will be for some time (they are the 2nd 'latest' model behind the ArcSabers anyhoo). 100 is too cheap for a brand new racket unless he is sponsored by Yonex and reselling them at close to cost or sponsor price, then there are other issues to consider (e.g. breach of contract?). imo, the reason for this racket possibly being a fake is that the shaft serial is out of whack - this one is 3748033 but should be around the 7xxxxxx mark for a 2008-production racket. leehsim will confirm this for you.

I wish I could tell you that it's real but you should have known yourself that you can't buy a high end Yonex for $35.

if you copied the shaft serial correctly, then its counterfeit but anyhow, please check to make sure you copied everything correctly.

OKOKOK I'll bite.....

If this comes out as a fake....I'll eat my APACS racket ala Monsieur Mangetout

Hey, those sellers who say their rackets are OEM/Clone are the semi-good hearted sellers... It's a tip-off for those in the know ie THIS IS A FAKE!

I do wish they would stop using the word clone. It makes life difficult for the average Joe who does not know the difference between fake (A racket painted as a Yonex but not made/associated with Yonex in any way) and clone (a racket which is painted to look like a particular Yonex model, and claims to have similar chacteristics but is branded under their true brandname ie APACS, Fleet, Tactic etc etc).

I'll buy a clone anyday....but never a fake.
