The benigne explanation could be a company who buys stuff from broke companies or clearance parts. But, from 1100$ to 70$ is a big drop.
For my old Mercedes I got sometimes "new" parts which have been on the shelf for over 10 years. I once got a supercharger belt so old and it didn't last one year.

Or, parts made in shady China factories?

All kinds of red flags on their website, particularly on the 'Shipping And Returns' page -- and once they have your billing info there is no going back...

Stay away! Bad move buying from them!!!!!

Lot of those scam sights out there. They seem to always "sell" the most bizarre stuff. Camshafts, toothpaste, furniture, and salt water taffy.
Run away.

Payment in euro, dollar, australian dollar and british pound, no impressum, looks like a Chinese Everything store on aliexpress. Since the EU invented a special custom fee for cheap parts (laptop fan from China 5$, since new fee 40$), Chinese stores rented storehouses in Europe and filled them with everything and sell from there to avoid it. Looks similar.

PS: I found camshafts on aliexpress for 100$

Did you buy them? if so how did it go?

I was just searching for a battery powered fan. We have a couple of the eGo brand tools, I figure I'll look at those. I did a Google search and came up with a few. Clicked on one sight I've never heard of. When I scrolled down the page I see what at first looks like the "Overstock" trademark. Upon closer inspection I see that it actually says "Ovarstack", but in the exact same font. Sneaky little yellow devils.

I bought from these China europe based warehouses, e.g. a coolant pressure test/vacuum fill system and it was for private once in a while use totally fine. And for complaints I had no problem at all with Chinese sellers usually they give a rebate instead of changing parts.
