glow shift gauges?

I know what everyone preaches here as good gauges... I am going to get some here in the next few months, was poking around Ebay and these came up.

Anyone have any experience with these gauges before? They seem to be a hell of a lot cheaper, but that can be a bad thing as far as build quality...

Well, your link didn't show up, but if your asking about GlowShift gauges, that question came up a while back and I think the general thinking was something like this.....

Here are a couple of threads I remember. Read and judge for yourself.

I have one. I have used them for years. And my dad and fiends use them. My Sons small import car forum use them and say good things. I come here and folks say they are junk.
All personal preference and you get what you pay for. But i have had good luck so far. Tomorrow might be another day.
Somthing is better than nothing. I wish i could affort the ISSPRO gauges. I like them and like they way they look. IF you can swing it. Go that route.

Dan- I have heard more reports of the Glow Shifts not working than otherwise, both in here and the 94.5-97 forum. I figured it wasn't worth taking the chance. I bought a brand new Isspro set from Diesel Manor from the classifieds here for $300 that someone bought but never installed and I'm happy with them.
