On his feedback he has had a few people accusing him of selling fakes.

Assuming he delivers the same gloves as pictured, they look identical to the BOON gloves we have at our gym. Moulding, air holes and identical label - but this is the downside of Ebay buying I guess... All Boon comes with a certificate type label packaging as far as I am aware.

I have factory prices for Sandee, Twins, King, Boon, Windy, Thaismai
If he is flogging Boon gloves at that price then they are either fakes or he is making no/very little money. You get what you pay for. The old adage stands if it appears to good to be true then it probably is.
The only time I see genuine brands at this kind of price is if they are a) second hand b) unwanted purchases that the owner is just looking to offload. In both cases you tend to find that there is only one item for sale. If you can buy the same thing again from the same guy then beware.

I've bought some fairtex from that seller before, and I'm no expert at spotting fakes but they were exactly the same as the ones someone else at my gym bought from the fairtex shop in thailand. They're wicked too.

Not yet but we will be doing
On the site we now stock Fairtex, FTB and just got Twins back in (non of these are trade though, just retail). We will be getting some Twins available to trade in about 2 - 3 months, followed by Boon, Raja, Windy and King. Not investing too much in these brands to trade as Sandee is so popular I just can’t keep up with demand (neither can the factory) so this is our main focus of effort trade wise. Plus the prices are the best for trade. The other are just too expensive with little margin for retailers or gym owners.
Not doing Thaismai as they are not such great quality

Why did you change your mind? Are they better than Sandee?

Lol ! No not by a long shot.
However our business has two distinct parts. FIGHTSHOP, a combat sports retailer and Sandee distribution, the European distributor for Sandee. It is FIGHTSHOP's aim to be the best one stop shop for anything to do with combat sports, selling brands that people want at realistic prices and with great customer service.
Its Sandee distribution’s aim to convince you all Sandee not only have the best value products, but also ensure robust supply lines, great product range etc, etc. Essentially FIGHTSHOP is a customer of Sandee distribution just as many other retailers, gyms, shops etc are.
Although these are still one business I tend to look at them and manage them as two distinctly separate businesses.

Thank you but could you explain me what do you mean by "no by long shot"? Do you mean that Sandee is better, or that those are slightly better? English is not my native language so it's not the best.

i bought my Fairtex MMA gloves and my Fairtex focus pads from this guy, both were most definitely genuine!
i cant vouch for these particular gloves, but i cant understand why buyers would give him heat, perhaps they didn't know what they were looking at??
i paid very little for my gloves/pads from him and was sus because of the low price, i actually asked him outright if they were genuine and he said "yes, and if youre not happy they are, send them back and i'll refund the whole amount and pay your return postage" that's how sure he was!
i think ebay gets a bad rap a lot of the time, if you're careful on there and adopt simple rules, it can save you a fortune on RRP
