Fakes of Prince Textreme series?

[Mlenk]

Just wondering if there are fakes if the TT95 and the TT100P floating around. On the big auction site there are ones that are supposedly brand new being sold for 20 something bucks with free shipping from China. Sounds too good to be true right?

It just seems so blatantly shady that I cant believe they would actually list it for that price and people might actually buy it.

Those listings must be complete scams. They're always listed by a new seller with 0 feedback. It's not just Prince. There's also Head, Babolat, and Wilson. I've seen stringing machines too.

I had/have extra play money in my PayPal account so I tried buying one. Why not? It was $20 for a pair of used Head Radicals. That was in mid-June. The shipping is listed as taking 2 months so I can't file a claim until mid-August.

We'll see. Has anyone actually purchased and been delivered the goods? I doubt it. EDay has plenty of buyer protections so I should receive a refund if either the racquets are not delivered or are not as advertised.

Ya id be interested to know what you actually receive, if anything. It seems like a really dumb scam just for a meager 20 bucks.

I like the description of the shipped from China TT100P on "Eday": The owner was a little old lady in her 60s that barely played at a 3.5 level.
Sounds like the old used car joke.

I've seen those listings as well. I figure it has to be some kind of scam and just not worth the hassle. Who knows, since it's only $20, maybe that's just the beginning. I guess they could always try to steal your info to get more. Seems like people should have something better to do than try to scam others.

Out of curiosity, a few nights ago I emailed one of the sellers asking for more photos and to include my username written on paper in the photos. There was no response. I don't think they have fake racquets - I think they don't have racquets.

I'm in agreement with you. I'm just surprised eDay hasn't caught on to this scam with all of these new Chinese sellers and their ridiculously i expensive listings. If they can't get the money back from the "seller", eDay will be on the hook for the refunds.

I don't know if they're fakes since you will never receive one of those. They have pics and auctions for all the racquets. It takes almost no common sense to realize these are scams.

I love that they have totally random names like "ngpyuow34wh"............. would swear they arent even real sellers, just bot programs trying to rip people off. Gotta be impressed when even ai programs start trying to scam people.

Skynet comes next. Then its the end of the world as we know it. Someone should have told Arnie to kill fleabay.
