Agree with most all the above.
Burned on Ebay for COUNTERFEIT SHIMANO ACERA. RD
To be honest I would have been OK with a decent copy, but this was pictured labeled and advertised as real.
This was not as pictured with poor finish, machining and tolerances. That is simply FRAUD
AMAZON made it hard to vet their stock, packed with more red flags than Red Square on May Day
Cost of weeding through scams is added to the cost of real deal, and if they were in stock would have been the better deal up front.
Ebay counterfeits on my watch ˜ 50%.. AMZ running 25-80%
