it seems to me that yonextrader is trying a little to hard to convince buyers that everything out there [in ebay] is fake and that he's the only one selling real stuff. that kinda backfires. it actually makes me think that he's the counterfeit seller. that's just my opinion. (i do not know exactly if his rackets are real or not)
First,U need to know about the genuine yonex rackets looks like,then it's easy to spot the fakes.U can learn more by surfing BC n read other threads here.For the seller,ask the pic of a focused serial numbers,focused frame,Grip,Butt..n then,u can show the pic to us n let us help u judge it.
witch one of these arcsaber 10's are fake? http://cgi.ebay.ca/YONEX-ARCS-ABER-...ryZ20871QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-Release-YONE...ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
The stringing pattern is also a dead giveaway - it's not the Arc 10 one with the single pass grommets. Could be a sprayed up AT100 for all we know... Nothing below the NS7000 or AT800 has the new pattern.
are u sure? because they both the same except one has blue string and used, and the other has red string and its brand new
I don't understand, why risk buying on ebay when u can spend a little bit extra and know u are buying an authentic product from a reputable store per say. I mean, the ARC10 in ebay selling for £120 isn't guaranteed to be genuine from just the page of info or what the dealer says, but if u spent an extra £8, u could buy the genuine thing from say centralsports or directsportshop with free upgrades and a proper stringing job. I'd be skeptical if an ebay seller were to string my racket because I dont know his background and whther he is competent enough to do it and risk breaking my racket. I know high ends rackets are expensive, but if u are willing to pay X amount of money for it in the first place, a few pounds extra doesnt make much difference.
it's not the colour, but the grommets. Arc10 has separate grommets on around top right and left.. when i saw the pic with red strings that pattern is old pattern (grommets)
sumai's rackets are indeed real, but they are th(thailand) models. that guy spent $210 for a th model. why not go out to a store and spend alittle more for your region code and a year warranty that comes with it.
u will sad if u pay the rreal price with fake racket! i recommend u better buy from agent on your local area! i always brought the racket from agent and i can claim if there is broken!!! otherwise, as help from NET FRIEND who trusted!
dont buy rackets off ebay end of story, unless its a store with good rep here. do a search, but their are only a few reputable ebay store that sell real yonex
Well here's my advice and where I get my rackets from for a decent price (yes they're authentic) and sometimes I get other stuff here. From what I've seen at most shops the high end rackets Armortec 900 Tech/Power, Nanospeed 9000, and ArcSaber 10 are often about $100 dollars cheaper here. www.badminton.net
