I made the seller an offer and bought these cages in hopes that they were. They sure look like it to me:

Don't think they are.

But to be honest my friend has a moots with King ti cages and they look the same as his moots

the moots blasted are an exact match to the frame

regular king ti is somewhat close but not quite the cherry on top.

I don't think those are Moots-ified. Those look like my regular King cages.

Is everyone looking at the ones in the same listing I am? These: http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/oPIAAOSw4shX9amj/s-l1600.jpg.

They certainly look more like this to me:

I think this pic shows it the best.

But I think you're making my earlier point. The regular Ti King Cages look very close to the moots blasted ones.

Yeah, no big deal. It was a good deal either way. And from the pics, I certainly couldn't tell them apart!

The truth is, I don't know that for certain, but you're right it won't matter in the end. Of all the ones I've watched on eBay and seen sold on the forum, they look the most like Moots ones as I've seen. The seller didn't know but when I asked he said: "They have a mate finish that looks bead blasted."
