Would you be fine with the fact that you paid more than you could have purchased it from the vendor for? I mean if it looked identical in form and function?
If it fits and works I don't care. As far as paying too much for something, that is subjective. The only people getting upset are the people who have originals...I guess they don't feel "special" anymore I know exactly what I'm buying every time I make a purchase, if I feel it is important enough to research what I am buying, then I do so. If somebody claims they are selling an NOS part, and it has no sticker or part number and it turns out that it's a repro, that's my own fault...it's called buyer beware.

Obviously the stuff isn't overpriced if people are buying it
