Hi rhys, welcome to the site..
Have a look through the fakes section of this forum and you'll find all the answers you need.
The general rule is..
Check the box label,
check the plastic tag,
check the feedback of the seller,
check the photos (always ask for tagged photos of the actual shoe yo're bidding on)
and remeber the old saying "if it seems to good to be true... it probably is!"
cheers

The tips are listed under the "Consortium Fakes Solution" thread if you can't find it.
Have a shot at guessing using what you read and someone will confirm it for you before they finish at auction. If you don't know say so and move on to the next pair but some of those will need more pics to confirm and some of them are definately fake.
Good luck!
Shhh don't tell anyone but message the guy about the W6's and ask for a photo of the back of the shoe and let us know what you see.

To be honest, the bay is loaded with fakes.. I'd say 90% if not more!!
Your best bet is a site like PYS..
If you post a 'want' in the buy/sell section of this forum, someone may have some that you want.

CRKs are real
LQs and Tsubasas are fake
The IBs in the photo's look real to me but as you say they are just generic photos so he'll probably send you fakes
Dunno about the W6s
Wishing it was like the old days again
