Well seeing as they're 40 bucks cheaper with free shipping on eBay with the backplate, and 100 bucks cheaper without...

It's not a mind-blowing deal, that's for sure.

Sure ebay. I guess I didn't even consider them. I haven't been a fan of ebay for awhile. I think I'd trust Amazon more. I'd spend the extra even over Amazon for GPS if they were down to 300.


Are these just as good as the non-Comet ones you can get from GPS?

They're the same exact thing. No-brand Chinese copies inported in bulk.

There are two types of people in this world. Those who pay for Amazon Prime, and those who shop at eBay.

I have ordered maybe 5 things total from Amazon...over 200 from eBay

heh to each their own. I got screwed by ebay awhile back and I've held a grudge ever since. I've used it a couple times since when I couldn't find what I was looking for anywhere else.

I'm in Amazon's backyard so I get a lot of value out of Prime and Prime Now.

eBay is all about buying from a reputable seller (high rating, with MANY transactions) with an eBay store.

It is no different than buying something via Amazon that says "fulfilled by such-and-such-not-amazon-company"

I find that PayPal's dispute handling system is much improved in recent years as well.

In my humble opinion, eBay really only works well for people in the USA. Sure, I could go and buy stuff there, but the shipping is a TOTAL killer, and most people don't ship to South Africa anyway. We have a website called BidorBuy.co.za which is relatively decent, but is miles behind the variety of product that eBay has to offer

And a South African version of Amazon????? Nope, doesn't exist.....

many people do.. until they realize that amazon is NOT the seller,
but the exact same guys that sell their stuff on ebay,
thanks to amazons provisions a bit more expensive but otherwise identical

It's like Alibaba, but when you don't need to buy 1000 of something.

Buying straight from China has to be cheaper than going through a California middle man. Sometimes I pay the extra money just for a US shipper if I want it fast. Chinese shipping can take a while, but sometimes it comes surprisingly fast.

I'm glad for this post regardless cause I wasn't aware alternatives for 40 series backplate were available as I haven't looked in over a year. Don't need one at moment but when I do and if I'm too lazy to build a jackshaft lol.

No, the go power sports are thicker plates and better bearings. I’ve personally bought one and they are stout.
