if your a winchaholic and winch yourself down cliffs etc then you will only buy the best, a lot depends on it, but not everyone does this.
the only down side i see is lack of spare parts, but i believe these are now available for most of the cheaper options.
plus, not everyone has a grand for a winch!

Totally agree with you which is why I pointed out the excellent Tabor made by Warn for not allot more money! The limited experience I have had with the cheap winches is exactly that...they are cheap & nasty & often need repairing after 1st dunking. Personally I buy Warns as they are excellent products & the spares are easily available. I don't do much off roading but when I do I want my winch to work :shock: :shock: :lol:

Yeah its a ploy used everywhere but if anyone bothers to report then ebay usually makes the auction disappear. It is one of there main listing violations.

Does not bode well for getting economic spares/repairs though :lol: But maybe a self fix bargin.

Take alook on Ebay there are a coulpe of Warn 8274 on there which you may get for good money.
Spence are you doing a Winch bumper for the 8274 now? if so got any pics?
