Hmm...$720 for a new set of irons. They look real to me, so I’d say it’s very likely that they aren’t fake.

The seller only has 3 transactions... that could be a red flag.

The seller is based in California and Ebay says free 30 day returns.   I'd message the guy and ask some serious questions before jumping the gun.  I'd still be leery.

... and obliquely mention that your day job is with the FBI...

Ask for the serial number of the club then check with Titleist. But, my gut feeling is that this is a legit item.

I am always careful with new sellers/those with just a handful of reviews, but he is accepting free returns which is unusual if they are fake. Plus ebay will cover it if they are fake. Like others have mentioned, ask questions before you buy.

A seller has to take returns on ebay. Plus, saying you will take returns will make people feel more "confident".  Aren't 620cbs going for 1000+?

AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS. Disregard the paragraph below and read edit.

Looks more like stolen off a truck than fake to me, but it is completely possible that they are fake. With eBay and the seller's refund thing, I probably just go for it. Checking with Titleist might come back with a set of stolen or missing clubs if you run serial numbers. Let us know if you end up buying or find anything out about the clubs.

Edit*

A quick brush over the sellers profile shows their location as Morocco and membership to eBay staring in September '19. All of his ratings come from members in China that sell low-end knock-off electronics. I wouldn't touch that seller with a 39 ¹/₂' pole.

Fakes are more common with top-of-the-line brands like Titleist, Ping, Callaway, etc. Since most club heads are made in China, it is easy for the factory to run a "fourth shift" for themselves. I would not be surprised if these irons did not have any serial numbers etched into the hosels at all. Very easy to add some Dynamic Gold shafts and grips to a set of counterfeit iron heads. Big price to pay for something playable, but "worthless" if you want to trade them in.
