Think I just ordered fake Aramith balls.

There was only a few minutes left on a nice set of Aramith balls that the ebayer said had only been used for one game, so I placed a bid and won, after that I started doing some research on Google I'm pretty sure these balls are not Aramith premier balls. As you can see in the picture below these balls have the numbers in the white part of the striped balls and not in the actual stripe like they should. There is a link to a page with what the balls should look like after the picture.

And here's a link to some actual Aramith balls http://www.aramithpoolballs.com/bbpr.html

notify ebay. Looks like the Standard set of balls not a Premier set. No question about the item being misrepresented.

Wouldn't the set advertised have a chicken pox ball. The ones in the box are standard $75 balls. Johnnyt

Those are accurate. Premiers are a lower end model. They are fine, and play fine across America.

Used in pool halls and bars often

They look clean and worth 55

While that might be true, I paid for the $140.00 set like these. http://www.aramithpoolballs.com/bbpr.html

and I'm receiving the $75.00 set. I also had to pay $20 shipping so now im up to $75.00, I could have ordered a new set with free shipping for that price.

The balls look like Aramith Crown Belgian Pool Balls.

I think they're the only Aramith balls with the number in the white portion of the striped balls.

They are not bad balls. They appear to be in good shape. Don't feel bad. I hope you didn't pay too much for them.

Those could be premier. Mine look like that but the premiums looks different

The best price I could just find on ebay for a new set of the "Premier" Aramith pool balls was approximately $135 shipped........the set you got doesn't resemble the Premier design by a long shot........refuse the delivery upon arrival and meanwhile, contact the seller asking him to cancel the transaction for being misdescribed.....tell him he probably made a mistake but you aren't.....say this was intended as a gift and when the recipient saw what you were getting them, the person felt bad to tell you this was the wrong design.......it wasn't Aramith Premier....if the seller declines, open a dispute now...right now....why wait....it's inevitable but first contact the seller asking him to rescind the transaction....if it's already shipped, just decline delivery. At worst case you may have to pick up the return postage but I'd ask the seller to reimburse that as well.

I have these sets for $220 each which includes the shipping.
