While looking on flea bay for NGK Iridium IX spark plugs for my car,, I found a bunch of vendors peddling ''supposed'' authentic ones, for between 14 & 28 bucks,, ''on a set of 4''.
The ''real deal'' plugs average around 10 bucks a piece from Auto parts stores ect...
In looking @ a few vendor advertisements of them on flea bay, I noticed that ''a lot'' of them had the P/N printed on the plugs,, but no NGK print.
They are listing them with NGK's full P/N descriptions,, & some vendors even had pics of them with authentic NGK boxes,, & also listing them as NGK's,, trying to pass them off as legit !
Reading down on the descriptions for what brand they are,, most of them just had the vendors name next to that, or ''un branded''.
I then started reading feed back on transactions with some of these '' snake'' vendors,, & people are ''really pissed'' about this !!
Can't believe with all these vendors doing this,, that flea bay hasn't stepped in, & or shut them down.
These plugs are definitely ''not'' made in Japan, & are junk.
I believe there is other ''supposed'' NGK ones also, besides the Iridium's,, that vendors are trying to peddle also.
Best bet, is to sweet talk your local auto parts Guy ect. , for a good deal on a set ect.,, or go right thru NGK,,, or a known ''trusted'' on line vendor.
