$53 ebay LS starter

I need a starter for my swap and noticed this on ebay as well as Amazon.
The price sounds too good to be true when compared with a $330 GM starter. Has anyone used one and what do you think?

Not sure what the junkyard situation is where you're at, but at mine there are always several rows of 1999-2007ish trucks. I think mine was about $20, works great.

I've had the cheap one ($60) for a couple years on my 5.7 LS. Works as well as the OEM one that fell apart.

I bought the Summit Racing rebuilt version. Didn't make it beyond 200 miles before it got a dead spot.
