did you guys know theres an auction site called alibaba.com? cause while I was learning how to use ebay, I somehow ended up there
They're dirt cheap.
What's funny is that a lot of parts on that site are sold by factories that have licenses to produce for big-name brands here in the US.
So let's say that Eisenmann sells headers for $2500. If the Chinese factory making their headers (and selling them to Eisenmann at $500 a pop) wants to, they can turn around and put the 'generic' model of that header on Alibaba and sell it for bottom dollar directly to the consumer. You just have to know a bit about what you're buying to get a brand-name system, brand new, for pennies on the dollar.
I'm not sure how strong (or existent) copyright laws are over there. Judging by all the fake shit they make, probably not very.
