I would ask in the tennis warehouse forum but they block all ebay ads to stop competition from them

Babolat Aeropros are known to have a lot of fake racquets since they are the best selling stick in the world. The price is great for a vintage APD in good shape. Any suggestions?

I don't kniw any thing about tennis racket
But I have an in treat in all the ways people try to scam others using the Internet.

It from Moscow. .number one Red flag . No pun intended.

That you think it is a cheep price... number two...
And why are they selling such a rain item. ..
Other is who you going to go after if you don't get what advertised..
I have knit iced there are so many ways they scam even on ebay.

Feedback is 1, that is a red flag right there.
Moscow Russia, okay that's definitely out of the question.
Seriously, do not take a chance. If the seller had really good feedback I would buy it. They have only had one so it is too risky.

If FedEx refuses to deliver anything to a residential neighbourhood because of robberies, why would one send their money to that country?

I'm a collector/buyer/trader/seller on other forums that host a number of Russians. All of these guys now have an Uncle Dimitri residing in the USA who receives and ships from his place on behalf of Russian friends. Nobody will deal directly with Russians unless they get the $ up front via wire transfer or Paypal.

So many stories of robberies, stuff never arriving etc that you have to weigh the cost of doing business with Russians.

Yeah, I will pass a the 1st edition APD or Rafa Nadal's racquet. Too good to be true for that price.

I read the fine print and ebay states this about international sellers from their Money back guarantee.

International returns cannot be fully handled through the standard eBay returns process at this time. It's best to contact the seller directly if you have any questions about their return policy.

So they won't help if its a fake.

I'm a rec player, I am like a lot of people like having the stick of top pros. Currently want the 1st APD and Stan Warwinka's Yonex Tour G 330G.

it looks legit.
but at $95 plus a $35 shipping fee, you're better off visiting local shops.
I recommend Rackets and Runners or Tad's.

and if it turns out to be a fake, then you just wasted a pooning session.
when it comes to sports equipment, should always buy new.
would you buy second hand tennis shoes that have been worn once or twice?

Sportcheck may even carry this model and they have a winter special going right now.
buy one and get a second racquet for half price. I think they have the Babolat 2015 racquet
that Rafa used at French Open.

btw, Tad's carry the Yonex you mentioned earlier.
these guys know racquets and you can even haggle on price, but you have to ask.
