To each their own.
I wouldn't be happy to trust a set of non-CE regs bought off ebay without servicing to sit nicely on a pony until the event where you need it....

even some CE certified regs aren't all they're cracked up to be if you saw the 50m reg test in one of the dive mags in the past couple of months...

Have heard an ebay horror story of somebody buying a 2nd hand set, getting it serviced, and the service technician finding no contents inside the 1st and 2nd stage housings....

he ignored the generous offer of a hefty trade-in discount from the kit manufacturer to get this unsafe kit out of circulation and decided to get his cash back by re-listing it on ebay!
