Now I’m scared. Fake N3135 regulators???

[TOBASH]

New with this price is concerning.

Look at the sales location. Many non-English characters.

And the no-returns policy of this seller doesn’t inspire confidence.

But he has 100% positive feedback, from all 15 sales he's ever made...

At least it's not coming from China?

KR = Republic of Korea

 

[Mogman]

What makes you suspicious they are fake?
We probably have warehouses full of that stuff in S Korea
We have about 23,000 personnel there at this time.

He has some pretty sweet deals on EESS boxes.
Also just because he does not accept returns does not mean you cannot return it if it does not work, that only means you cannot return it if you simply change your mind.

The buyer should be protected against failure to deliver under the eBay money back guarantee. I just bought the "Qty 1" wiper motor for $250 which seems like a pretty good price for the old style. It will be interesting to see if another "Qty 1" appears for sale...

Devil’s advocate asks… What if it dies in three months or a year. No warranty.

You have 45 days to file a case, who is going to give you a year warranty on electrical parts that you install?

The point is, a lot of these parts won’t fail within the warranty period. They will however fail at a significantly shorter interval than the real thing.

Just a pure SWAG but maybe he is sourcing from the same supplier that build them for Niehoff if they actually do not do it themselves or could be surplus sold off by South Korea similar to GP.

A while ago I saw a seller in Mexico selling OE hmmwv parts very reasonable. Could have been ripped off or just declared surplus by some entity and resold like their GSA or gov deals to an individual who flipped them.....

It looks to me like all his stuff came out of US surplus as in the real thing, not knock off
As I said WE have a large presents over "there" or it could be SK surplus, still looks legit to me.

We (USA) supply about 1/2 of the free world with ALL the free stuff they can handle and never want it back. We GIVE the Mexican army all the Humvee’s the can handle. South Korea Germany , Ukrainian . It doesn’t matter , I’m still waiting for the listings from 600billion we abandon in the sand box. We also supply all the “support” stuff. Parts motors etc. I’m surprised it’s taken this long for some of these parts to appear. If I remember correctly the South Koreans were building a lot of “aftermarket” Duce parts not that long ago. Better than getting it from china.

The rooskis have certainly been having fun with the free Abrams we sent over there, they are starting quite the collection.

Not for nothing, parts and components coming out of Korea 'tend' to be pretty decent. Their manufacturing and production predominantly has been set up and established by the US and Germany.

Their electronics for solar and alternative energy ( variable DC motors, programmable current generators, PV Panels ) have been some of the most reliable (Jinko dominates the market for longevity).

Just my 2 cents.

I bought these IFM Efector sensors at a great price back during the plandemic when everything was impossible to get. Needed them at work and could not find them in the factory or anywhere. China had them listed on Ebay.

Well the ones I got were fakes. Looked nice and had good labels. They even worked on a basic level. But no adjustment screws just two empty holes and no LED indicator. Junk. Got my money back from Ebay and had to return them.

You never know what's out there...

I received tracking info and an image of a customs form for the wiper motor. The email address on the paperwork is associated with this website...looks like a lot of surplus that could be expected to sell well to the public in SK, but probably they realize the US is a better market for the HMMWV parts.

Just how many civilians do you think are running around in Humvee's in SK
I mean even air guns are regulated in SK
EDIT, I cruised the largest used vehicle site in SK and no hits on HMMWV or Humvee, there are many H2/H3 Hummers, no H1s though

 

[Mogman]

Diesel is $1.14 USD there, gas is only $1.12
Oh BTW that is per Liter.
Of course that is not TOO bad considering someone in NK has about the same average income as someone in Mississippi at $48k
The folks in NK have an average salary of 1,100 USD.
Time to go drop some brass in the pasture

Looks like us govt surplus from korea. Have seen some surplus come from mexico also. Looks legit to me.

 

[wheelspinner]

If you really want new/real Niehoff items, I have direct availability. Of course they are new, and not surplus cheap. But I can get them,
