RE: WOW!! New DL 111cc and 55cc !
It probably all comes down to whether or not you want to take a risk and save some money. I don't think that the Ebay 'undercutters' are bad. They buy their engines from the same place.
Do you think it is worth the extra $30-$50 to get a warranty. I'm not too worried. I will take a chance. If someone wants to spend the extra money it is no different than if you are buying a new copier at Best Buy and they ask you if you want the extra warranty coverage for $20. I usually take my chances.
No one is trying to rip anybody off. It's merely a question of cost vs service. Risk vs reward.
I would rather talk about how cool these engines are anyway. Sorry for the monologue on Chinese business practices.
