    A friend of mine recently purchased a fake Yonex NS9000X racquet with serial 050762US from ebay. He paid high as the seller "guaranteed" that the racquet is real.

    I made a search on ebay and found several auctions selling these racquets. I am so surprise to see people paid a lot for these fake racquets. :eek: e.g.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280247985032
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280247985032

    My advices are:

    do not believe in "guarantee"; cheaters are meant to cheat, they are cheating you anyway.

    there is no free lunch; no reserve auctions for lots of NS9000X? no way!

    do not believe in ebay seller's feedback; 100% means nothing, many cheaters can achieve perfect score. (see the previous examples of the cheating sellers "carandbicycle" and "vendcarding", they are 100% feedback)

    do not believe in ebay seller's registration location; registered in US, UK is no indicator for being safe. They are actually cheating you for more! (see the previous examples of the cheating sellers "carandbicycle" and "vendcarding", they were registered in UK and US)

    and finally, to play safe, do not purchase Yonex racquets from ebay. :D

    1. why must buy from ebay? #as well-known fake sellers
    2. at that price, again, why buy from ebay? :confused:
    3. at that price, may opt to buy from reputable online shops
    4. why cant get it at local authorized yonex shops?
