Darksyde Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 What is the verdict on this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/300768754945?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin-X[TK] Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Agree with Karin, recast AM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darksyde Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Not questioning you guys by any means, but what gives it away? I'm trying to be able to spot the bad ones so I don't have to ask questions like this. And I know the general rule is just stay away from ebay anyway, but this looked like a decent set.

LadyInWhite[TK] Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 To help Jason out a little more... what about the chest piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Hilarious Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Real or recast, this: 501st Approved Around The World! Is genuine BS. I would be wary of this seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonitekid Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Real or recast, this: Is genuine BS. I would be wary of this seller. Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darksyde Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 To help Jason out a little more... what about the chest piece? Thank you. I would love to know the tricks of spotting these. If anything just to avoid making posts asking what everyone thinks about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonitekid Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Thank you. I would love to know the tricks of spotting these. If anything just to avoid making posts asking what everyone thinks about them. Simple answer? Research. If your like most of us you have a raging desire to armour up and money burning a hole in your pocket. Ignore it for as long as you can. Search as many threads as you can on here to find the best armour for both your build and your needs. During this research you will soon learn the basics of identifying the poo from the shinola. If not then do as you have done: post a pic/link. No one here will begrudge you for doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTrooper Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 If you look at the other auctions and the listing format it's clear that it's another of AM's accounts on ebay just like sitharmor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonitekid Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 If you look at the other auctions and the listing format it's clear that it's another of AM's accounts on ebay just like sitharmor. Then the question should be asked: If they/he is such a stand up seller why the need for multiple Ebay acounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Hilarious Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 If you look at the other auctions and the listing format it's clear that it's another of AM's accounts on ebay just like sitharmor. Really??? 501st Approved Around The World! Shame. AM should know better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Then why isn't the maker mentioned? Besides, I've seen sharper AM pulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 In big bold letters - no suit can really claim to be 501st approved, until it's been fitted to the wearer. You can take a TM or RS suit and make is to that it is not 501st approvable. You can take an FX plop an AP helmet on it and it can be totally 501st approved. So any claim referencing 501st or FISD should be ignored. The other "tell" for AM is that the chest/back are massive and very angular, and if you have a pix of AM compared to a TE derived one it's very easy to spot.

Darth Hilarious Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 So any claim referencing 501st or FISD should be ignored. But I find it hard to ignore the red flags and alarm bells that go off in my head... If it said 'approvable', rather than 'approved' though, that would be a whole different story. I think the confusion over 'tells' was that it was implied you could tell that this was real, not recast. Actually it's AM, not recast AM. How can I tell though? Chest piece. I would think a recast AM chestpiece would look an awful lot like a real one, except: Besides, I've seen sharper AM pulls. Yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the other auctions and the listing format it's clear that it's another of AM's accounts on ebay just like sitharmor. But yet AM is listed in the getting started thread.
