lol, probably cheap for a reason!
I hesitate to buy electronics from eBay because you can never be sure how it was used. The motor could have gotten hot often, which isn't good for the magnets. And who knows what the conditions of the bearings are in. And the ESC could have some blown FETs; it would "work" on the bech, but have issues when you try to pull some current.
If you live in the States and your ESC decides to let the smoke out, have fun getting it repaired. Like linc said, they are very outdated, and expensive for what you get.
