There are a lot of scams out there lately. I see a lot of fake sticks and jerseys on SLS. If a bunch of two packs of $360 retail, top of the line, current model sticks are being listed for ~$440, they are most likely counterfeit. CCM and Bauer would never let an authorized retailer sell their sticks on SLS for way under the minimum advertised price. 


"What is your lowest/best price?" is NOT an offer.

SLS at this point is basically 90% counterfeit sticks, repaired sticks, or “barley” (yes, barley) used sticks that were actually used on asphalt for 2 months and the foam is falling out of the bottom.

fake sticks?

 

Yes, fake sticks. These sticks are produced in China and basically "blackout" sticks with inflated prices. They are about 50 grams heavier than the models they are trying to replicate. There are many SLS users that are selling these sticks and passing them off as legitimate. The #1 way to tell that a stick is fake is the price; if it's too good to be true, it is. Bauer and CCM will crack down on anyone selling their sticks for under their $360 minimum advertised price, so if someone is listing a large amount of brand new, retail top-end sticks for $220 each, they are most likely fake. You may not be able to tell if the stick is fake from the pictures, but can notice discrepancies in the graphics when looking up close.
