Just another reason I don't like scambay...er I mean eBay.

I got burned once about 5 or 6 years ago, for $75 for a lower intake manifold, and have never bought from that site since. And within the last few years all these counterfiet items poping up, I can't even trust buying a used item, since somebody might have bought the counterfeit item and decided they didn't like it, so they are listing them on eBay.

I don't trust buying online much really, since there always seems to be some friggen issue come up, shipping gets fucked up, or the seller just disappears after taking my money.

I don't know how I missed this thread. My Dyns meet all of the real requirments but 1, the glue on the mids terminal at the basket. I bought mine when they where very hard to find on ebay for just over $330. I have noticed lately that they're more at abundance for about $200.

we wont see fake TI not enough demand for it.

RSd doubtful as the price is alreayd so low, the copy cats could only sell it for what.... $5 less; not worth it.
