Another stupid ebay question

Ok, these look like actual chips, but I wanted to get your guys' opinion before ordering anything. Here's one that I think looks good, and here's another the seems to explain the technology behind it. Do you guys think this is truly an introductory price or just another scam?

Well the second one is scamish, no comment on the first although it is most likely scamish. If you read he says it is a resistor chip and all it does is fool your vehicle into thinking the air is a different temp, probably really cold, so you are always dumping a ton of fuel. Be prepared to scrub soot off the bumper with this one. It looks like it is the ol' 10 cent resistor in a different package.

all these chip thingies are like un-adjustable S-AFC's. they make you run rich across the RPM band. just wait and buy a real SAFC.

well you might also want to read what his past history says. One of them said that it was a bootleg chip hehhe. Other ones said that it worked nicely.

I was also just thinking about how resistance can even effect our MAS. From what I gather it works on frequency (Karman) how could a simple resistor increase the frequency to fool the ECU for more fuel? This is kinda for rhyz.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Running rich is no better than running lean, so maybe I'll wait until RRM comes out with its reprogrammed ECU. Too bad the estimated price for that will be $500 At least it will actually increase performance though.
