Does anyone here have an Army green Shark Honor that’s actually Army green? I ordered one off of this other site because I really liked the color. When I received it, I was totally bummed out. This is what it’s supposed to look like according to the listing:
This is what I got:
They’re two different colors! What I received is a gold/brass like color. Is this just how they are where the manufactured product doesn’t look like the pictures or did I just get kind of screwed over by getting sent the wrong color?
Well when I look at my computer screen and compare the pictures, they are two different colors. When I compare the yoyo itself to the representation in the listing, they are two different colors. There’s no lighting situation in my household where I can make the yoyo I received look anything like that dark Army green color represented in the listing. I am really disappointed especially in light of the fact that I was a hair away from choosing red. I bet the red would have looked like the red in the listing and not some shade of pink or maroon or something…
I disagree and the cost is immaterial. If I order something online, I should have a reasonable expectation that it’s going to look like the product that is pictured no matter what the cost. The yoyo pictured is not a reasonable representation of what I received. If they have a stock of gold yoyos with a slight green tint in the right light then don’t put up a picture of a dark Army green yoyo and say it’s the same thing or “close enough”. At the cost of this yoyo am I going to get all bent out of shape about it? No, but I am disappointed and I don’t think the reasoning behind that is being picky or petty. Had they pictured this yoyo rather than the dark Army green, I wouldn’t have bought it.
Retail of $10 means they’re designing, machining, anodizing, assembling, and packaging for what I would guess is somewhere in the ballpark of $5. Just a guess, but at that price point QC will suffer and pictures will not be updated for every run that is slightly off color.
Thanks for that information Garrett, it makes a lot of sense and it is most likely what happened to me here. Oh well… If I knew I could get that dark Army green I might take another shot at it but maybe next time I’ll pick a safer color.
Yeah, not a bad idea, greens/yellows tend to be harder to picture completely accurately. Go with a blue or red if you aren’t sure. Also - I can vouch for all the picture colors on YoYoExpert being pretty darn accurate since I take them for every yo-yo we get in.
What I received is a gold/brass like color. Is this just how they are where the manufactured product doesn’t look like the pictures or did I just get kind of screwed over by getting sent the wrong color?
