    There are too many fake racket sellers.
    We should make a list of eBay people selling real genuine rackets instead,
    Then you take no risk asking yourself if it's fake or not after you buy the
    racket, you just know its a real.

    there r potenial problem with that as all we can do is confirm
    who have Sold or Tried to sell fakes
    we can never gurantee who must and will always sell Real rackets..
    if one of the "Recommended" seller decided to leap to the dark side
    one day for god knows why then this site will get flamed for it

    Too bad. . I'm one of those guys want to get cheap Yonex racket from Ebay. I did not come acroos this board before I order the racket. Right now, the racket is on the way. Seller told me he can refund it if I don't like it. I'll never try this again... ..

    It's probably a genuine racket since he insists on that.
    But for the date code, I see day 30th of 68th month..
    ask him what's the cone(date) code.. and people here can tell

    Fake, the serial numbers are too small for a mid 06 racket.

    I've purchased a AT 800 OF racquet from this seller also. As for my case, my transaction still hasn't clear yet till today and I'm requesting him to provide the serial number on the racquet for authenticity check but he was giving excuses of he can't do anything because he's just a customer service guy :p

    I'd emailed eBay and they're investigating the situation. If he's busted, his Power Seller status will be off, account will get suspended and possibly freeze his credit card on Paypal and eBay and etc. So, this might be a good news for you Kindaichi

    Btw, I'm a newb to this forum, nice to meet you all =w=

    FYI, the 4th largest powerseller on eBay sells tons of fakes. His feedback scores is way over 100000, and ebay never dare to say a thing on it.

    That's because they make a ton of money off them and their sales. :p

    A cash cow like that is protected by eBay/PayPal. The simplest solution is not to use the micky mouse 'Auction', or the mouse will run you around until you give up.

    I bought a racket from him too, :crying:. My racket has not arrived yet. Just seeing your photo. It look so real. But i was covinced it is a fake one. BTW, is it suppose has a laser hologram above the PBSI sticker. I saw another (real) ns9000 racket that has a PBSI sticker and a laser hologram about it. Hope we can get he money back... smoothly... and make sure give him a -ve feedback... He did assured me his racket is 100% GENUIEN.

    Wonderful....

    We don't provide any type of buying guide to people. You should buy things based on your sole decisions. If anything went wrong, it will be your responsibility.

    Never buy things based on what we say here. We only provide our opinions, and that's it.

    Agree and thanks for the replies. Great communication with the seller and I bought the racquet.
