Beware of fake Brembos on Ebay

Just a heads up there are some knock-off Brembo masters being sold on Ebay, some local track guys though they were getting a deal on some Brembos. They got some cheap knock-off junk

Ebay is great if you know how to use it, if you dont you can get ripped easily...First off the seller location can tell you alot about the **** they are selling, I would never buy ANYTHING from Thailand! That is the land of knock-off......Also look at what other products they are selling, all crap! One quick look at that auction or any of that sellers auctions and I already know they are selling crap...Some people might not have the experience I do with Ebay, so Im just putting this out there to warn others...

Re: Beware of fake Brembos on Ebay

thanks for the heads up but lil to late for me


I got screwed couple months ago from a fake brembo

I tried calling the number on the site tons of times at different times of the day and no one answers or returns my calls. I emailed them a bunch of times, no answer.

I reported it to ebay and no answer.....I wish ebay had like a number or a real person to talk to. I wish I knew the location of these ******* I would seriously bust down there door and shove this POS up their asses

Re: Beware of fake Brembos on Ebay

Its coming from Thailand. That should be a hint. Nothing of any brand name, especially a premium brand name, EVER COMES FROM ASIA!!!!! EVER!!! ESPECIALLY AUTO PARTS!!!! If you want bootleg DVD's or knockoff sunglasses, go there...but nothing of quality is manufactured/refurbished/distributed from Asia.

Well Ive bought my first Brembo master like 7 years ago, and to this day they are the exact same. So just by looking at the pics I can tell the forging looks cheaper, there is no size stamping on the bottom, and the bleed nipple and rubber cap are differnt.

Other then that like mentioned the location origin of the item, and the sellers other items give it away. Sure would be nice if real Brembos were only $100, but thats too goo to be true.

I've noticed with a lot of these "power seller 100%" feedback head is bullshit... I read this thing about they sell like 200 10cent items to fake profiles just to get the feed back. A seller like this is "Webuysell2007" or "webuysell2006" I bought a Blackberry for 20bucks from him and never recieved it. Then I noticed his 100% feedback rating was for 10cent resistors and after indepth analysis some were like to the same people and ****. Once I didn't revieve the phone I contacted him 10 times through e-mail, paypal, ebay, and phone and never got a response... he signed on to his AOL I messaged him saying where the **** is my phone... he signed off... then I looked through his ebay to find the same phone listed 4 times with the same picture to show the condition of the phone... how can 5 phones have the same wear marks I asked myself. Long story cut shorted got my money back after a month of arguing with paypal who is never slow to **** me with my money.

That's how they make good feedback.. Selling hand towels for 2.50 each..

fuckn post cards.. stupid ****..

usualy what the easiest way is to send it fast.. they give u good feedback.. and sooner or later the thing u bought breaks, flaws are discovered
