Default Lookin to buy valves...Need some advice

I recently pulled the old top of 3rd to 2nd gear shift and, well ,you know the rest.So I'm looking for new valves .Iwould like your opinions on this auction. This price is sick and it's for all 16 valves. EVERYWHERE they are $300+ do you think they are fake??? Are these 6000 series valves any good. (I'm gonna run JUN cams.)

I've bought valves off ebay before but not from that particular seller. I paid around $200... theyre in ferrea packaging and laser etched with the ferrea logo so I'm sure theyre the real deal.

Not everyone on ebay is selling knockoffs. The knockoff items are actually few and far between.

Ebay isn't as bad as people make it sound. If you use some common sence, and use your head you can actually find real good deals on ebay.

Ferrea valves kick ***. If those are the real thing that is a great price. My cost on those is just a LITTLE bit mroe than that.

HECK YA! That's the best deal I've seen. Ferrea valves are up there with Skunk2, Crower, Supertech, etc.

Are you going to be using their valvetrain as well ? Match the valvetrain parts to the valves. If you are going to use JUN valvetrain then stick with stock valves.

Thanx for all the replies. I think I'll give it a shot and try my luck with the valves.
