I often look in this thread and feel jealous that we don’t ever get any good deals or auctions here in the U.K.

That ends now

Balance has been restored, by way of a generous discount.

Just to help any of you recognize this newest batch of fake sport loops. Attached are two photos. The band on the left is fake and the one on the right is real (they are not the same color, because I don't have two of the same):

(1) The fake band has poorly placed velcro and not quite as wide as the Apple velcro strips.
(2) The lugs on the fake loop are painted metal. The Apple one is solid plastic.

thanks for taking the time to make that post, I logged in just to read everything after being alert of frauds surfacing with size markings. As a seller it makes me a bit unnerved and hope buyers aren’t impacted/hesitant to buy used/no box bands.

I think I only have the box to like 1 or 2 of my loops. So long as you know what to look for, you should be good. It might be worth pinning a link to this thread in AppleBandMarket just to give some insight to future buyers!

44mm m/l only Celestial Teal sport band. It’s an auction but you never know. I’d be all over it but I recently grabbed one. Only band I have that I paid above retail. I guess I’m officially part of the club now.

Why? It's posted in marketplace - I'm not selling here directly outside of the channels of that thread - if you're interested reply that thread please.

That forum is basically all iPhone 11 sales, hard to miss some bands
I think you’re fine. You didn’t say what bands you were selling or offer to sell outside the marketpace. They’re just rattling your chain :)

Why are offers to buy/sell outside the marketplace so sacred, anyways? Mods know other marketplaces exist... right? So long as we’re using one of those, why should they care?
