Real or Counterfeit?

They look like a normal Stone set. Why do you think they are counterfeit?
New or Used set in the photo? They look pretty good / close to the ones showing on the Aramith website. I don't know why anyone would counterfeit a set of balls that aren't worth that much anyway, so I'd be quite confident they are authentic. You can PM me if you'd like me to get you a price quote, brand new, from a reputable dealer.

It looks like they are in an Aramith box. Since the retail price is $190 or so, I'd guess a reasonable used price is about half of that. That's not a lot to worry about. How's the seller's feedback?
It's listed on letgo so there is no feedback. I'm 100% sure its an aramith box but as it is opened the balls could be fake. At this point i'm thinking they are the real deal and worst case scenario I just lose $100. I will compare the picture with what he brings to me because he could still pull a bait and switch on me.
EXACTLY what i was thinking. To each-his-own i guess but these are UGLY big-time.It would take a set of balls to counterfeit something that ugly.

They are reminiscent of a style from the early 1900s where the pattern on the surface looked like confetti. They look like they could be useful to someone who likes to pick out a spot on the ball to hit -- just the opposite of snooker balls.
Aramith also makes a camo set in case you want your pool balls to match your Humvee. :thumbup:
It looks like the pattern would be fairly hard to duplicate. That with the limited market would discourage counterfeiters when more popular sets are easier to fake.It would take a set of balls to counterfeit something that ugly.

I imagine that is just from the cue ball. You can change that out separately if the object balls aren't too small from wear.
For the most part yes I can say that it is from the cue ball. As far as the others being too small I cant say. I've been thinking about getting this set from pooldawgs https://www.pooldawg.com/product/super-aramith-pro-cup-value-pack-pool-and-billiard-balls-set . What is the difference between that set and this one https://www.pooldawg.com/product/aramith-tournament-pro-cup-tv-set ? Other than the obvious extras you get.
The fancier design has their new surface technology which presumably gives a harder, smoother surface. I have a set and they don't seem to need cleaning as often but I haven't done any careful testing.
I assume your talking about the tv set?
The set with the partial black circles around the numbers.
Letgo definitely has a feedback and rating system, but being one of the less popular buy/sell apps, it’s not unusual for people to have zero ratings.
