new chrome door handles thoughts?

Anyone buy the newly manufactured chrome door handles that are on ebay for around $60? Curious about fit, function, feel, etc.Good deal or not?..Made in Taiwan (for now, anyway) Thanks, Dave V. in NC

Yes, the "You purchased this item" appeared when I clicked on the link supplied by Redroadster68. I do not remember the year of purchase, but I would definitely remember any issues with installation, and the handles are supplied with the rubber gaskets which you will need (some handles are not). And, there has been no discernible change in the chrome finish.

A lot have been sold so there should be some opinions forthcoming.

Check your eBay watch list: the seller just sent out an offer for these at $45 + free shipping. Again, these include the four rubber gaskets that you will definitely want to replace when replacing your handles.

Well, not a lot of feedback..so I ordered a pair at their discounted offer, and received them yesterday. As JD Power surveys say, "in initial quality", they look very good, shipped quick and free...haven't installed yet, so hard to gauge function.
