Has anybody bought badminton equipment from xiping_cn1? It seems that he is from china. The prices seems to be very cheap so I was wondering if anybody as bought from that seller and can verify whether the equipment is fake or authentic. Here is a link to one a AT800 DE for only $43 canadian http://cgi.ebay.ca/Brand-New-Yonex-Armortec-800-DEF-Badminton-Racquet_W0QQitemZ8795964841QQcategoryZ62477QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Thanks
Price is too good to be true. considering he is only taking 4 modes of non-credit card payment, you won't be able to use charge back if the racket is indeed fake. He may just be taking photos of a real racket and send you a fake one. He is also selling from china. His feedback is private......which prob means he beefed up his own feedback since listing in china is free i believe. I wouldn't buy from this guy. -Kevin
Too good to be true, period. If he sales real AT800DE for $43CDN, I will buy 200 pieces. Don't ever think you hit the jackpot, when you see a price quote is like 25% of the MSRP. High price does not gurantee it's real, but ridiculous low price (on brand new) can be 99.9% of fake.
Thanks to everyone who gave me an informative reply ( K3vin and LazyBuddy). I pretty much knew that with that price it had to be fake. It was just that I wanted to confirm, as it would be a dream come true to get racquets at that price. Thanks for the replies vbmenu_register("postmenu_366510", true);
danger of buying fake is only the color is similar. performance wise is unpredictable. i tried my fren's beijing bot AT800DE. it's more head heavy than AT700, and has noodle for shaft
That's exactly the point for fake sellers. They take advantage on human behavior, as "save $$$ is good". The buyers "saves" $100, only to find the hard fact is, they "wasted" $50. So, it's not a dream come to true, more like a nightmare once you find the truth.
It's even more like a super terrible nightmare when people spent more than $100 on buying fakes!! I have seen those people spent $300 on buying 5 at a time! You think you saved a lot? No, ... You lost a bunch.
