Title: 1100814 Alternator buyer beware
Post by: Maxsg1973 on February 02, 2020, 07:14:51 AM

Stamp does not look authentic to me. Pretty sure an authentic 814 would have more value than $225. (https://i.ibb.co/fHnHqzk/Screen-Shot-2020-02-02-at-12-08-44-AM.png)

Does not look like an OE stamp. Seller usually discloses in listings that items have been stamped with the numbers shown, often has several such distributors for sale at any given time too.

I totally missed that! I should have went to bed instead of surfing the internet so late.  :-[
