Hello Ebay Community & as Pharrell would say all you "Forward Thinkers". I am a huge collector of Billionaire Boys Club, Bape, & Ice Cream designed by Pharrell Williams & Nigo (Japan).  I think that these bootleggers are taking the exclusivity out of the trend. I feel bad for those of you trying to sell your Authentic items and not getting their worth because buyers are unsure of its authenticity. Or those of you who are buying and getting cheap knockoffs from China, Thailand, & Canada. I would like to share a bit of knowledge of what to look for when bidding on these items to ensure you know your getting what you pay for.

Suggestions: 1st ask if they have an original receipt, if not its probably not real. I always keep my receipts for my BBC/Bape purchases. A T-Shirt is $90, sweatshirt $400, would'nt you keep the receipt. If the seller does not display the receipt in his pictures, email him to see if he does have it. Also just because the ad says 100000000% authentic, thats def not true!!! Ive been taken a few times here as well.

What to look for in pictures:

With BBC T-Shirts it is very easy to spot a fake look at my 2 examples:

The example below is real, see on the Astronaut helmet how the curve of the helmet to the right of the "B" is rounded. See how clean the design is.

Now the one below is the FAKE, see how the same curve is sharp! Also the whole insignia is thicker all together. So if you see this your getting ripped.

Also BBC does not attach their tags to the shirt. It is loose in the bag upon purchase.

 A Bathing Ape / Bape Hints:

A Bathing Ape does not let you keep the camo tag to you when you buy an item. They automatically remove it and they keep it, probably to keep it from being counterfeited. So a good indication when buying is that if you see the square camo tag in a picture, most likely the item is not real. Also the bags have a bee on the lower right hand side with the size. That is another thing to look for. Also it is very rare to see XXXL, XXL's in sizes. I rarely see these sizes in the store.

I hope the above was helpful to you!
