Default too good to be true?

There is an egay listing for New Timing Belt, New Water Pump ,New Alternator Belt, New A/c Belt, New P/s Belt, New Crank Seal, New Cam Seal, New Valve Cover Gasket Set and New Spark Plug Tube Seals, which is basically all you should replace when you do a timing belt change. All that for 125 shipped. Do you guys think this is too good to be true and i'll get some shitty stuff? It says its all Honda OEM parts or from OE manufacturers. Thanks for the input. Keep the flaming to yourselves, please. Peace.

they are only seals...it's not like a seal can really fail.
The water pump is probably the most expensive thing there to be made aside from the timing belt.

I'd go for it
Just because it's ebay doesn't mean it's crap...some wholesalers are trying to get their business going by selling some good deals.

there is no listing for the stuff i need. I emailed the guy with my engine and he said he had it. Here is the listing, hope someone buys it, cause yea, it is cheap! I AM NOT SELLING ANYTHING, so please dont lock this thread. If its not ur engine, please send the guy an email, he replied me within a day. Oh and old man neri, chill out and have a beer. Thanks for the input, i'll be sealing the deal monday when they're open. Nighty night.

the guy wrote a novel about his company in the listing, I'm sure you can return it if it is crappy. MORE VOLVO PICS FOR SURE!

i just bought a new timing belt, P/S belt, A/C belt, ALT belt, and water pump from hondanormreeves for $120 shipped. They were all genuine honda or honda OEM parts. The price you quoted sounds about right. I'm sure they are legit.

Well, it doesn't take a miracle for another company to be able to undercut a stealership.

All of those parts on the ebay auction are aftermarket parts. Not necessarly bad but they are not genuine honda. Most likely they are Stone gaskets, GoodYear Belts, and GMB pumps. Looks liek this guys parts all come from WorldPac. Detcent stuff, common supplier for most of the Euro guys.

hmmmm, I think you may be correct. Oh well, it shouldn't be hard for one to undercut the other. Just change their markup from 1000% to say maybe 500%...lol

Cheers.
