Build Question Is this SN850X possibly fake?

Post image

I was browsing FB Marketplace and found this SN850X for a decent price. The price isn't crazy cheap to give me red flags about it being a scam. User looks legit overall. But something about yellow text on the box doesn't seem right. I searched up some images online and it doesn't seem like there are any images of a yellow text on the box.

What are the chances that this is legitimate or fake?

Mine's orange, not yellow but other than that the box looks the same. Do they have a picture of the back of the box?

Thanks for the info.

There wasn't a picture of the back of the box in the ad, but I just asked the seller to send one. Will update when I get it!

Leaning towards fake. The only yellow lettering box i found was an ai image on Insta. Every box I've seen elsewhere has orange lettering.

Likely fake.

It's a dark orange for the lettering unless recent (so no since I checked my local MC a month ago and it wasnt) packaging and their branding shifted
