Default ebay throttle body question

Hey guys I decided to buy my injectors new and buy my throttle body off of ebay. I found a company that has good feed back and is selling a brand new 75mm tb for $85. Would anyone trust an 85 dollar tb? Also why do other companies charge 225+ for theirs?

what brand was it? Was it a stock tb ported out? I've seen those on ebay kinda cheap. I don't know how good of a job they do on that.

Most throttle bodies I have seen off ebay perform the same as any name brand ones have. They just dont look as good as the others.

Sweet thanks guys. I ordered it now I just have to port out my stock plenum I guess. Can't wait to get the car dyno tuned. I'll post the numbers as soon as I do.
