Woah, this avatar has layers. It's a Mega Man/Crash Bandcoot/Captain Planet super blend.

I found my HO Toast recently.

It was my first ever Clack.

Brought a tear to my eye.

Hey, guys.

I might need some therapy, as it's been suggested I've been scammed in a trade  ..
is this the best place to post some pics to confirm,
or is there another thread better suited?

Thanks.

Couldn't hurt here, or make you're own thread maybe? Either or

[Burt Macklin]

Okay, here are some pics - I can try to take more, if needed (just have crappy smartphone at the moment).

So did the bad guys win..?

Is it supposed to be red?

I really can't tell myself, will need some more clack experts to examine. It's the weekend so it'll probably be looked at more tomorrow.

I'd need better photos of the front. Back looks iffy with the sides being uneven thickness

[Burt Macklin]

Added couple more pics;
damn, it's hard to get decent quality with my phone -
I'll have to find something else to take the photos, if these won't do.


And yeah, it's supposed to be red.
Not sure about the name, though;
Painful Red or Revenge Red (based on this), maybe .. if it wasn't fake, that is.

doesn't appear to have the small drill hole in the back that F2s have

[Burt Macklin]

Nope, no hole.

[dgneo]

See if you can get a pic of this outside or under a white light, as the flash is washing the color out a bit, which makes it tougher to identify.

The unevenness isn't really an indicator, as many other MX CC's have uneven walls.

[Burt Macklin]

Okay, I've taken it outside - more pics added   

The interesting bit is that little mark underneath (left of the stem), which is identical to a fake one from TaoBao (as seen here).
Real deals don't seem to have that.

[dgneo]

Yeah, the stems seem to be a dead giveaway compared to other CCs, also the small chip near the stem appears on both yours and the Taobao one, whereas CC's doesn't have that. I think you've unfortunately got a fake

Yours


Taobao


CC

[Burt Macklin]

Well, in any case - thanks for confirming that.
Bummer.

[romevi]

When will Clack return?

[nickheller]

You have to say his name 3 times in front of a mirror.

[romevi]

his name 3 times in front of a mirror

[1swt2gs]

Guys... the trick is you have 3 mirrors surrounding you and you say his name only once.

[Halverson]

What if you say it backwards three times while using water as a mirror

[rowdy]

ti ti ti *splash*

Fakes have the stamp?

[DreaMagine]

Fakes have the stamp?

Of course; it wouldn't be a "good" fake if it didn't.

[hapakey]

So how do you tell if it is real?

[kinglukas38]

So how do you tell if it is real?

Look at dgneo's post

[noisyturtle]

It's unsettling to see these better fakes mixing into the trade scene. It used to be much easier to tell, like you could just glance at a K3 and know immediately it was a fake. How many people have fakes on their board right now without even knowing it?!?

[Moistgun]

Well, in any case - thanks for confirming that.
Bummer.

Can you please share the person you dealt with so we know to avoid them in the future?

yeah, it's pretty scary

if i didn't see any telltale fake signs on a photo of a clack, i usually went by how trustworthy the person was. but if that poor person has obtained a convincing fake unknowingly, we'd both be none the wiser

i've traded a clack that i received from a sale for a clack that was second-hand at least, but was from a trustworthy member. would be pretty devo if i later determined it to be a fake

It's one of the reasons I kinda convinced myself I have enough of these clacks around and I can and should just enjoy my collection.

i do enjoy trading and the excitement of trading for a cap i've wanted for a while

i'm sure you've got a lot of your favourites by now though 

[reaper]

Yup, fakes are getting really good nowadays. Sad but true.

   yes, difficult to distinguish the fakes nowadays,their stems become better,no any idea about it.   

[Halverson]

That's why I deal in HOs, only REAL HOS UP IN HERE
