Hey all,

I purchased a Timo Boll ALC on ebay... I need help regarding its authenticity.

Blade hasn't arrived but the seller did send through some images.

Link to the pictures:

Cheers.

I can't see any evidence of it being fake... looks like a genuine one to me. That is of course if the pictures are of the actual blade, not sourced from the internet somewhere.

Thanks for the reply haggisv.

The vendor sourced the blade from amazon Japan, would that change anything at all?

Thanks.

If it's from Japan, it's even more likely to be genuine. This might be one of the few ways one can still buy from outside their region, as Butterfly forbids any of their distributors from selling outside their designated region.
What was the price?

The seller showed me the amazon invoice in which 3 blades were purchased in 1 go (1 timo alc and 2 innerforce alcs) for a total of 39000 yen. The purchase date was Nov 2015.

I couldnt work out the individual prices of each blade but
I purchased the timo for $224 aud. The seller is from the US.

Thanks.

That's a really good price!

I would not worry any more, unless it looks different when you get it.
