Your mistake was searching Ebay Australia.. you need to go on ebay.com and you get all the Hong Kong cheapies in USD.

My knob is the genuine article, it's pink and the top turns purple when you squeeze it too hard. Feels great in my hand but even better when a chick is using it

(sorry, couldn't help myself lol)

ffs it's only a gear knob and the matt finish ones apparently has a better feel as compared to the resin ones. For the price, i will go for the fakers. Looks good, has different colours and works a treat. THUMBS UP even though it weighs 1g more.. as if it will impair your car from clocking 0.0001 sec less on the drags

^ Ballsac reveals secret to finding knob.

I searched eBay.com first (rarely use .au tbh) and looked at international listings but couldn't find any cheapies: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trk...All-Categories

Support the innovators and manufacturers who put the time into research and development of good quality parts, not the people ripping them off with cheap copies.

That is if u have the pocket to go as deep as thier R&D process. But what the heck, a gear knob is still a gear knob and is priced that much for it's brand.
+1 for supporting innovators and manufacturers who produce top quality aftermarket products like exhaust, manifolds and such. Never get a cheap knock off when it comes to these items.
It's just like u can wear/carry immitation products but u do not go for a kidney transplant from a pig.
