Hmmm. Got about half way through but I think I'm getting the picture.
This sort of conning is quite common in the stories I hear about ebay.
I'm sure if I'd set up an account I would have been able to buy
'genuine' Black Gates for half their usual cost, etc. etc. No thanks!

My Alps pots have cast metal bodies. But of course, they're the real
thing, and they weren't '$6 bargains'.

Did you get to the end where they turned out to be stepped
attenuators, not pots at all? I never figured out if they were
stereo, didn't look like it. Probably not a bad deal, just not what
the guy thought he was getting.
