I agree - it says "OEM" alright. The seller has an astronomical Ebay rating, so I'm confused. From waht I understand, "Hamburg Technic" parts are made in Taiwan, but possibly "registered" in Germany? If the price is right, I'd still give it a shot.

Care to elaborate?
Give us something to go on here.
What was terrible about the service? Shipping, response time to your queries, parts not as described, dishonest seller, part had a bad fit, return policy??
