Sorry, not asking you to evaluate an image.

Here's an oboy auction for a Hoya 77mm circular polarizer.  Near the top 
  of the line.  Seller is "besteastern" in HK, has been around for 2 
years, has 7,000 sales and 99.6% positive feedback rating.  Pretty 
impressive actually.  And at only $66.95 is a great deal.  Or is it?

Now, here's the B&H ad for the same product.

Note that the price at $194.95 is *** 3 times as much ***.

Is this one of those; "If it sounds too good to be true then... "  If 
so, what's the catch?  Counterfeit merchandise?  If so, why so many 
happy customers.  They can't tell the difference?  Real merchandise 
slipped out the back door?  Stolen merchandise?

Comments please.
