the thing is the bat is being sold from Banstead, which isn't far from Fordham sports - (I know the area around there pretty well)
the pink looks terrible - but if it is fake then the seller has gone to some lengths to make it look reputable with the extra fordhams stickers!
It might be ok.

Just had a look round the stickers on it are fake due to the fact that the back stickers should be further separated apparently

Perhaps Fordham Sports have their own branded scuffys?

make sure you pay with paypal so you can get your cash back if it is a fake - and the lack of toe guard doesn't help the cause...
Sometimes it is worth looking at what he has bought on ebay via the feedback - not that he has bought fake stickers at all...

 :o oh.

Call eBay, rather than the resolution centre, get some advice from them.

Obv. its a legally binding contract but there are loopholes in this.

The Fordham Sports sticker is a nice touch, though (slow day in the office today), on a Powerbow, the area covering the red GN sticker on the reverse of the bat is flat, and only where the sticker ends does the ridge start - on 'true' powerbow bat images of the profile, you hardly see the red GN sticker on the reverse as it runs parallel with the face.

On the ebay bat, the ridge goes right along to the splice to the handle.

I could be wrong though.
