I'm tempted to buy these, or some other rockers off ebay. Do they have a bad rep?

Hard to say. The difficult point about those is that they have no reputation, and will probably never get one.

You could try them, and as long as your rocker geometry comes out OK, they'll work. I would pull them off frequently to check the rollers, wear surfaces, and maybe crack check them.

I went the route of getting a set of the used shaft rockers sold by Patriot. They look really good, and I got a good price on them.

Check with some of the vendors over on the right>>>>>>>>
I got mine from New Era on sale for like $379, but that was quite a while ago.
I know that they have sales or GP's on them evey now and then, check their pricing now, it's probably around $400. HTH
