Anyone heard of "A Plus" or "A+" brand rotors?

My '98 A6 QW needs new pads & rotors on the front. I've been quoted $450 
(CAD) installed, but found an eBay seller offering these rotors made by 
A Plus/A+ for quite a bit less.

Do I need to run away from this screaming, or would it be worth 
considering? Here's what the seller responded with when I asked about 
this brand vs. Brembo/et al.

---begin quote from seller

If you want a well known brand name, like Brembo or Zimmermann, that 
rotors will cost over US$350. If you want I can check for you.

A Plus rotors are the same as other rotors brand (except Brembo or 
Zimmermann) selling on Ebay, they made of castiron soft steel, S.A.E 
G3000, as good as OEM rotors, even better.

The reason why Brembo and Zimmermann rotors are so expensive because 
they are import from Italy and Germany (But many Brembo rotors are from 
Mexico) and they are “well-known” brand.

I don't need any high-performance equipment here, but would obviously 
prefer to at least be "safe"! Any advice/suggestions appreciated...thanks!
