http://www.dhgate.com/new-max-28-lb...saber/p-ff8080812c9c5969012cb672231358e1.html Would this racket be fake? It is a really low price but also wholesale.
The pics could be of a real one, but the ones you'll get when you buy them.. fake. The really low price is just a give-away that it's fake.
Well considering the racket is 200$ for the resale price, I thought that this might be the wholesale price, how else do stores make a profit?
How else do stores make a profit if everyone buys it online at wholesale price so easily. 61 --- 120 US $18.72 Seriously....but it seems like you already made up your mind, so why bother asking and hearing answers you don't want.
Well, the margin of 500% is just way too much. Remember, the wholeseller needs to make a decent margin of profit as well, therefore, his own buying price will be... you know... Also, I believe Yonex has policy of what's the price should be, and wholeseller (distributor) cannot join the retail competition, simply by a cutting throat price, never to mention sell online like DHgate.
In Calgary it is near $300 without strings or grip. If you don't believe that it is fake you are free to buy it. I will not make any attempts to stop you.
If simply just judging from the attached picture, I personally can assure that it is definitely a Fakey!! First off the official Yonex ArcSaber Z slash Taufik Hidayat version, the grip suppose to be in red colour. Secondly, the racquet bag come with it seems dodgy. Thirdly, most of the fakey come with the elongated oval shape item description card-like attached to the frame. Fourthly, where's the Yonex's advertising materail which mean to be attached on the racquet face? Hence.... That's just simply based on my personal opinion. Feel free to think otherwise.

hey look, you get a choice of JP or CH version. what a deal. just from the potential price of $18/racket, there is no need to waste any more time. it is a fake. and looking at the picture, you are not even getting a good quality fake, these ones can be found in street corners in China for less than $10.
find a friend to buy you one from SE Asia (from a reputable store). that's pretty close to wholesale price in the US/Canada already. for a racket that goes for around US$210 here, expect to pay around US$130 or so.
how are regular stores supposed to survive if you can just go buy one at wholesale? can you just go walk in a store and say, "i want to buy that plat panel TV at wholesale price?"
wholesale price from the company is usually 1/2 of the MSRP. the $18 or so USD is probably what the company pays the factory for per racket. maybe even less.
Looking at the price, doubt its real. It is a pretty new racket and I doubt that it would be that cheap. Even the picture, the arcsaber z slash originally comes with a red grip I think. My brother bought one recently and it came with the red original grip. Even at a discounted price it costed in RINGGIT about 700.
It's fake!! Just look at the Badminton case.. a real Arcsaber case is not that kind of material... I bought a fake ArcSaber Z Slash and ArcSaber 8 from China and the bags look exactly the same!! I also have a real ArcSaber 7 and the bag looks way better than what's on the picture!
The racquet inside the picture is also fake ... The logo at the butt already tell that the racquet is fake.
It's not a fake, ladies and gentlemen! It's another low end replica model from yonex and these rackets are made in china
