No.  I don't think it's strange. 
 
This Kelly Frink is right.  You get suckered in a bad deal on eBay, try to
fix it, if it doesn't work then leave it alone.  You don't know who this
seller is and maybe you don't want to.
 
Members should appreciate being notified.  I had looked at this guy a couple
of weeks ago because he was selling re-manuafactured (or new, it was
unclear) GIRLING [style] front calipers "Buy Now" for $99. (pre-'86 SEC's
had Girling floating calipers) I thought, OK, that's a pretty good price.
The last price I had seen was about $200. each exchange.  I looked again and
the $99 was for the PAIR, and no core charge.  Sometimes a deal is just a
little bit too good, right?
 
I looked closer at the picture... one caliper has what appears to be
"GARLING" on the casting, the other, nothing.  Chinese knock-off's?  I don't
know.  So I looked further and this guy has calipers for everything for
$99/pr.  Dozens of 'em.  I had asked shipping cost to Canada, and he replied
"sure, I'll give it a try", but he'd need another $30.
 
Would I "give it a try"?  If I was buying a sledge hammer, and suspected
that this lump of pig-iron was from China, I might take the chance.  But
brakes?  Hey, somebody's life is at risk here.
 
Thanks Kelly for the heads up.

I would think you would welcome the assistance. A little strange don’t you
think?
