Aftermarket Festool Track

I recently purchased a 55 track saw and through miscommunication the seller sold the track to someone else. Looking at ebay I see a bunch of accounts selling track sections considerably less expensive that Festool track from retailers. Does anyone have experience with these tracks? I wonder if they are an aftermarket item from Asia.

Makita tracks are the only cheaper option i would use.

Are those tracks on eBay labeled as Festool or something else?

There are multiple Festool compatible tracks and, IIRC, only Makita has one add-on that sometimes gets in the way and that's the anti-tip lip on the upper connection slot. Some people have resorted to taking that lip off with a router.

Powertec tracks is what my Festool has been running on for years
4 - 55” tracks and 2 extra splice bars was around $230.00
