Does/has anyone bought respirators and/or filters off eBay and can comment on whether the product was trustworthy or not.
There's a load of sellers selling new unused filters and masks for alot less that what other online stores are charging.
Now the first thing I'm thinking is are they legit?
Not sure if there's a big market for fake and copied products when it comes to PPE but wondering why the significant cost reduction
Second do items like filters have a shelf life assuming they're new/ unused?
Just trying to think of the potential issues you could encounter buying this type of thing off the bay.
On the flip side, if you buy off an online store or somewhere else I guess it's hard to really verify if the item is legit as you don't know where it's coming from in the first place. You also don't know if it's new but been sitting in storage for the last 7 years or something.
I also know the obvious consideration around is it worth the risk in trying just to save a few quid?
Just wanted to get the thoughts of others on here
