I just dont get it. looking to save a few buck here and there on some ebay head studs. I know they are pro comp or whatever. I wear mechanix gloves daily so i thought why not check out ebay and pick up a few pairs at a lower price point. well i found a "reputable" seller and bought my self 4 pairs. sure enough they were counterfeit. So what i learned is that sometimes even reputable sellers/company's sell fake **** on ebay. Sometimes im sure they are not even aware or at least not consciously aware. You get what you pay for. Also how about supporting your LOCAL machine shop/ hot rod parts shop. sure it may be a little more out of you pocket than the fleebay guy but your contributing to your local economy and helping to put food on your local business owners table. Which in turn will eventually help you.
Remember money isnt everything they just want you to think it is. Buy local and stop ******* your neighbor's (and site sponsors) by purchasing **** on ebay.

I'd say over 90% of guys who take a motor to a machine shop supply the shop with the studs to be used for mains & rods when machining. So trying to say it's costing local machine shops money is a retarded comment at best. Not everyone wants to pay triple the price for a name if a similar quality product can be had cheaper.

For example as to why I could give a **** less about MOST local companies, I wanted to buy a set of 2stroke Vforce reeds for my race bike. Priced em at the local motorcycle shop, $400 for em. Priced the EXACT same ones on eBay for $170. Get surfed local shop.
