-Third link is a known scammer.
-First link - no idea. That price range outrageous.
-Meh - it a shirt. I use Prott for their DHS blade and rubber product and can vouch. They don't dabble in high end butterfly product so doesn't apply much.

It is interesting that it seems to have caught butterfly attention.

The clothing on Prott is fake but the blades and rubbers are real. Check some of the Prott threads/posts in here.

I’ve purchased DHS products from prott.vip a few times myself, so I’m well aware of that.
As an aside, prott.vip used to sell the “CHN” Viscaria—which Butterfly had previously warned was a counterfeit—at exorbitant prices.

Of course that's a pure scam.

Depending on the definition of "personal blades" every single unused one isn't the blade of a pro player
and if it was the exact weight and balance preference of said pro player, they would be playing with it rather than having it up for sale.

Even if the number scheme is correct and Ma Long plays the #001 w968, there's a reason it's not in his bag. Either it wasn't up to standard, the numbers are fake, or it was stolen. I find it very hard to believe that there is an actual surplus of superstar player selected perfect specimen blades.

I wonder more where in the chain the scam starts.
