I doubt all boards on eBay are in this category. Some are probably quite genuine, some may be rejects, and it would never surprise me if some are counterfeit. The problem is, I have no idea what ones are what. I don't know what the problems sourcing the parts for making a reference would be, but if a number of people wanted to make one from parts, perhaps someone could produce a PCB and people contribute towards the cost of it. Maybe leave people to get their own reference chip, as there are different grades of that. But things like the precision resistors may be easier to buy in a quantity of 10 rather than 1. I would certainly not mind buying one if a PCB was available. Even if it works out costing a bit more than a 3458A reference from eBay, I'd feel a bit happier.
