    Indeed it is fake I almost did the same thing until I read the feedback on the seller, all the bad reviews were of the racquet being counterfit, there was also one good review that said the racquet was fake but a good racquet....weird o_O

    Rating means nothing when it comes to determining if a seller is a counterfeit.

    You might want to read "Ebay Buying: Time to learn the hard way".

    some buyer bought the racquet for £10 and received it. This clearly should indicate it is a fake.

    those aren't particularly very expensive racquets. their price is mid range so chances of them being fake are little lower but i didn't look at the pics yet :p

    hey all,

    i just stumbled upon this thread and my heart is sinking a little... last night i won an auction for a yonex n9k very cheap ($60AU inc postage). Even though the price was really low, I assumed people weren't bidding because badminton isn't very big here, but i was just being naive i guess!

    I haven't got it yet but I'm almost certain it's fake (just because it's too good to be true) after reading all these stories.
    What do i do? I don't know what to look for to confirm that it is fake (and there aren't many photos on the listing...

    here it is:
    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI...E:L:RTQ:AU:1&viewitem=&item=230135231329&rd=1

    ugh!

    It's counterfeit. Pictures speak for themselves besides the price.

    You are answering your own question. Tell the seller that you are not going to pay a penny, as it's a fake. If he dares to do anything against you, you will report him to ebay and Yonex 1st.

    Usually, the seller will just shut up, after he sees that you know the truth.

    I don't think its fake, it only looks like a sticker because of the plastic wrap over the handle

    It does not make sense to me on why you want to buy a US coded racquet to sell it in UK then ship it to CAN. It's going to cost more because of the shipping. The pictures look real but I just don't like the smell of it.
