Yes I bought the fuel rail from him, but the DW 1000cc from another website. They were only $399 a good $100 down from regular price.
Today I got the email stating that it had shipped, but no tracking # yet. I wouldn't mind sending it to Cosworth if the want to inspect it.
What would you say Cosworth??

The only other possibility is that this is one of our dealers in Asia selling under another name, or these folks have purchased the rails from one of our dealers. However that would not explain the low sale price.
We are still investigating and will see what are options are with eBay.
Thank you

Maybe. A lot of grey market is the real thing but it was produced without the intellectual property owner's consent (e.g. the factory did one run more than was required for a job and then resold the extras). They'd write it down as a defective part that was destroyed but it was instead sold.

However our rails are made in house. They are machined here in Torrance, anodized locally in Southern California, and then inspected and kitted by our staff. The chance of these rails being legit are slim to none.
Thank you

Hmmm this is all kinds of F'ed up!!! Something does not add up right. What is Ebay telling you guys. I mean this could hurt your name and your P/L. I would not buy it till Cosworth looks into the matter more.
