Anyone have experience with buying groupsets off of eBay from China? Prices are pretty darn good but I almost would pay a bit more from a reputable dealer for piece of mind. The parts don’t seem to be in original packaging either if that matters. Thoughts?

If you're talking about Microshift, it's just OK but it's not much cheaper than buying shimano from Chain Reaction in the UK or Competitive Cyclist in Utah.
Probably authentic parts that have been purchased at manufacturing / wholesale pricing. Won’t come in retail packaging.
Outside chance it is not authentic.
To me not worth the risk.
I have gone with Merlin or one of the other UK based retailers. Still a very good deal, fast shipping and authentic.
