Anyone tried cheap eBay gauges?

I'll eventually need a set of gauges for my Ventura. I was thinking about repurposing a set of OE gauges from a newer car, and then I saw these on eBay. Has anyone tried these or similar? Surely at this price, they have to be junk?

Yes, and I've tried glowshift.  Stop buying either.  Get autometer or aem or a reputable company.  You really wanna guess your oil pressure on track or something?  I don't.
