So I was looking on Ebay- AliEx...etc for some decent new or used ultralight wheels for a new build.
Found this company's online Ebay store (based in China of course.)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/226673321897?var=525851296069

I ran the numbers for the 38x26mm (1070g) and pulled the trigger thinking , hey, a sub 1100 gram wheelset with XDR and ceramic or steel bearings shipped to my door for about $445.00?
Paid the cat then the next day he sheepishly emails back saying I need to cancel the order since their Ebay listing was wrong and that I was buying an aluminum alloy set. Actual set would be $680.00 Bollocks.
I told him to be a man and honor the Ebay listing, not my fault they can't proof check listings. It was classic bait and switch IMHO. I Let Ebay know. Of course its all fuckgin AI-read & response shit now.
Money will be refunded.

Beware.
