racket model: Yonex Astrox 88d Pro shaft serial:344320 cone code : 060112UK source : private eBay seller, uk price (REQUIRED) : GBP80 (currently) please can someone verify if this a real or a fake please? Shaft number is the best I can make out from the photo. Cheers guys
Why do you say it's fake? It's unheard of for fakes to have a UK code, typically fakes have Asian codes.
Thx @Dave1011 - it raised alarm bells with me as it was so much cheaper than normal so wanted to check here. Must admit the earlier comment puzzled me
88D/S Pro is released in March 2021. It's not about the UK. 060112UK, it is much earlier, so I think it's fake.
That date code says the racket was produced on 6th January 2021 which means it was produced 2 months before it was sold in shops which seems feasible to me. I still believe the racket is genuine.
Maybe you are right. If there are photos showing the details of shaft serial number cone code, racket specifications, it will be better to identify. 从我的 iPhone 发送，使用 Tapatalk
Hi Jacko, This is my listing on ebay. It is genuine, I bought it on 27/5/21 from Tennisnuts. Let me know if you need any more pictures or have any more questions.
Just to explain the price. I have to pay VAT on imports to the UK which eBay adds at checkout, so the £80 seems low, but at checkout it's £96.
I'm in Guernsey which is a crown dependency inbetween France and the UK. We don't pay VAT on items we purchase from the UK, which means when we come to sell items to the UK VAT has to be paid.
