Rapha fake?

[RyanMcGrath]

Hello do any of you no if people sell fake rapha items on eBay? I'm after some gt gloves rrp £130 and a guy on eBay said he would sell then for £70 and states there brand new. How can he be prepared to lose almost half the money?
Would they be genuine??
Cheers

It doesnt really matter because if your going to spend £130 on a pair of gloves, you must have money to burn

On a more serious note. Unless you have the gloves in your hand you wont know. Do you really want to take the chance. Have a look at his feedback.

if it seems too good to be true, then....
£70 is still silly money for a pair of gloves though

Even if you do have them in your hand fakes are very difficult to spot as the counterfeiters go to great lengths to make them as convincing as poss. The general rule is if an item's price looks too good to be true it probably is!

There are a lot of fake items on bay making their way over from asia, but also here in the uk. I go with my gut and if it seams to good to be true i will avoid it but thats just me.

Ask him if he can prove a receipt from Rapha to back up his claim .......... simples

Or just go out and buy 5 pairs of normal priced gloves instead

He's told me his mate works for rapha and he got then from him. He can't prove there real but has all the packaging.
I dunno

generally speaking there is loads of fake brand clothing on the bay, so they could well be

If something is worth money then people are making fakes of it guaranteed. Be it cycling apparel, golf clubs, watches you name it

I agree with the consensus that if something seems too good to be true then it usually always is.

Sorry but IMO that is utter bo!!ocks!

How about a link to the item then people can check them and the seller out for themselves?

They are probably fake.....I wouldn't touch them with a barge-pole.

Would that be an original barge-pole or a fake barge-pole "yer mate" acquired for you wocky

£130 for a pair of gloves.
They are fake, they are not meant to be worn on cycle ride.
