    i sent a little e-mail to lillerk and this is the reply i got:


    "can you tell me the serial number of the racquet that you are going to send if i win this item?"

    No, because there are so many stock we hold in our store, so we don't know which one we will send you. If you think we sell fake, don't bid then.

    all i have to say is.... OUCH.... hahahaha

    I've just sent off a cheque for £58 to freedom270281 - reading your thread I am tempted to stop the cheque. What evidence have you against this seller - if I am going to stop the cheque I need to give him a good reason.

    Thanks

    Bruce

    You may as well stop the cheque THEN ask what freedom27081 did. It's better to be safe than sorry.:D

    He sold several fakes before, including the most obvious fake NS7000 with wrong prints & fonts. He claimed his rackets are "OEM" rackets, which is never true for yonex rackets.

    If you don't stop the check, you will lose your money 100%.

    Thanks bluejeff,

    I have taken your advice and stopped the cheque - I also emailed freedom and told him. He has emailed back and seems quite happy to cancel the transaction - he gave no defence against being accused of selling fakes!

    Im glad I found this forum - thanks again for your warnings

    Regards

    Bruce.

    That's probably because I have already spent weeks on trying to talk him off on selling fakes. I have an eye on this seller for a while already.

    Bluejeff,

    I checked a few rackets photos from freedom's ebay shop ... they looked quite genuine and I was almost thought that they were real ... Thanks for the advice !

    He is selling fakes for sure, actually, you can go to his online photo book at:
    http://elvinchoy.250free.com/new/
    and you can see fakes photos there.

    This seller has changed his eBay names before, and he owns several eBay accounts. People need to be extra careful with this one.

    Example#1 , the frame picture of his NS-7000 from his photo book.
    1. Color is wrong, should be red at the sides.
    2. Print is wrong, top should not say "Nano Speed"
    3. and there are more.....

    Example#2, the frame picture of his AT800 DE from his photo book.
    The grommet system is totally wrong. There is no "single channel". It's lacking extra holes.

    Could they be fake?

    They are fake. Yonex don't sell those kind of grips and especially not in bulk.

    If you look closely to the picture, you can see many of them don't even have the same height (width). There is no way Yonex would sell their grips as this low quality junk. They are fakes, and you can easily find these fake grips in China.

    Oh, and to add to that. I tried them before. Piece of crap grips that have no tackiness and wera off in like a day. They are so lame.
