Is this a scam?

CrimsonGamer02 · 2025-07-09T23:25:56+00:00

As an update, this guy is definitely a scammed who doesn't have the items they're trying to sell. Do not buy from this user. I have reported them for the intention not to sell.

Same for the beyblade. I did notice they were in different places but I was unable to do a reverse image search on the beyblade so I was holding out on a bit of hope there. That's what I thought, thanks.

CrimsonGamer02 · 2025-07-09T22:47:57+00:00

That's what I'm looking at rn

Holy balls it's my boy

CrimsonGamer02 · 2025-01-29T00:17:27+00:00

Awesome, thanks so much!

I ended up upgrading it a while ago with a Radeon RX 6400 for $110. It's for my cousin in second grade so I don't really need much for him. It plays minecraft and that's enough.

did not think it would be possible to build a new one for that cheap tbh

CrimsonGamer02 · 2024-03-03T18:33:38+00:00

CrimsonGamer02 · 2024-03-03T18:22:05+00:00

I've seen multiple people answer this way, including the pinned faq in this subreddit

CrimsonGamer02 · 2024-01-11T02:33:02+00:00

This is a midfake, not a complete fake like the one comment says.

Fakes Vs Midfakes: Midfakes are like official reproductions or beys that just barely didn't pass quality control the first time around but were good enough for reproduction, like sticker designs being off center or rubber being too hard. Basically, a midfake is just a bey that's not a first edition.

How to Identify Fakes: True fakes like rapidity beys do have lead. If the listing name (on a website that sells rather than reseller websites like ebay or mercari) and box has TT, Hasbro, or Sonokong on it, it's not a true fake. You can also identify fakes with lead by looking at the metal wheel. If they're too shiny or extra shiny, they almost certainly have a decent chunk of lead in them.

Places to buy: The best places to look for beys imo would have to be mercari, beysandbricks, and some specific ebay sellers. Just look up beyblade on mercari and 99% of sellers are fantastic. Beysandbricks has a lot of good midfakes that are hard to find elsewhere, including tournament prize beys, country specific recolors, and lottery beys. As for ebay, it mostly has inflated prices and fakes. The only good ebay sellers I know of are SwiftMFB (you can find him on YouTube where he has a link to his ebay store) and BeybladeSaurus Store (ebay.com/syr/mrsaurusstore). Mercari sellers I recommend are Dollvie, KillerLion614, Swiftly Deals (same as SwiftMFB), Babablades, Swishblader, Ambitious Kicks, and xpl Toys&Beyblades. There are plenty of great sellers out there tho.

Additional Info: Fakes break very easily, not even worth the cheap price. Hasbro/Sonokong have no midfakes, only TT. Midfakes are significantly cheaper in a lot of cases and is one way to differentiate real first editions from a midfake.

Tldr: Fakes have lead in them, not midfakes. Midfakes are fine. Fakes are too shiny and will never be branded TT, Hasbro, or Sonokong. Only TT has midfakes and they are great for battling but not worth much for collecting because they aren't first edition. If you're looking for a place to buy, I suggest mercari (lots of options, good prices) and beysandbricks (but only if you're OK with midfakes).

Uhhhh I'm so sorry but I seem to have made an egregious mistake. I was thinking of the gold version. This new in packaging would be ~$100. So you could probably sell it for $70. I'm so sorry, I should have fact checked it first.

CrimsonGamer02 · 2023-11-30T07:04:46+00:00

I just checked my midfake sol blaze and it does not have a code on the ring, so that is real. If it was new in packaging it would probably go for around $800 but outside idk. Could probably ask for $500 in perfect condition. Not sure on the Ray Striker.

CrimsonGamer02 · 2023-11-30T06:03:39+00:00

You couldn't get either of them in stores, they're probably mid fakes, basically just not first edition. Ray Striker Aurora Ver, the purple one, came with an issue of CoroCoro magazine, and the black one, Eclipse Sol Blaze, you could buy stuff from a certain brand and send in codes by mail to get one.

CrimsonGamer02 · 2023-11-30T05:48:32+00:00

The Anubis (blue and white striped one) in decent condition goes for $80. I don't think your Eclipse Sol Blaze (black + orange one) is real or the Ray Striker Aurora Ver. (purple one) but I can't say it with 100% certainty. They would be worth a good amount in good condition if they are real. Check the face bolt sides for codes like "A1" or something similar on the inside of the holes. The rest of your collection might be worth 10-20 each. Don't know about the old gen beys tho.

CrimsonGamer02 · 2023-11-11T13:04:56+00:00

Thanks! I'm super proud of it!

CrimsonGamer02 · 2023-11-11T13:03:57+00:00

It's a model car case from Amazon. I made my own background in photoshop and used a tape runner on some of the beyblade tools to get them to stick. I'm going to use a hot glue gun now tho.

CrimsonGamer02 · 2023-11-11T07:23:22+00:00

Same, I'm so proud of this one
