Assos on eBay

Just been looking on eBay at assos bib shorts, the prices are remarkably cheap for assos, but they were being sold from places I've never heard of, such as Dabrowa Gornizca, and others. Has anyone bought from these suppliers, are they genuine? They do come with the cream, cleanser and washbag, as per the genuine article. I might just splash out if they're ok as I'm looking for new bibs.

    Being doing exactly the same thing - I think I will let the feedback of such sellers build up first before bidding. The bidding is very random on Assos gear at the moment - for example a pair of used unos went for £98 (rrp £128) , whereas a pair of new f1 s13 went for £102 (rrp £225) just about a couple of hour ago.

    Probably would have helped to include an actual link to the item if you want our opinion on fake or not.

    On probability, I vote fake. But since I don't know the price except 'cheap', it's a bit difficult :)

    I've had an Assos jacket from Poland, via ebay. Spot on authentic in original packaging.

    I haven't a clue how to include a link here but a quick search on eBay will bring up Peter8733 from Katowice selling 2 pair of assos bibs, biddin is currently £50 and £23, still a few days left yet but what does dodgy from Wirral think, fake or real.

    Right, so you mean http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Assos-T-FI-Mi ... 33766580fa

    And

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Assos-T-FI-Mi ... 337665833d

    It's an auction, so we have no idea of how much they will sell for. So when you say " the prices are remarkably cheap for assos", you have no idea how much they are for sale for. It's an auction.

    If it's fake or not, no idea!

    Here is an example of finished auction:

    It went cheap - feedback suggests the seller is genuine.
