I bought one off of ebay and sent it to Jan Blackwell (head of archives for XO) - she did not really say anything that it was wrong- she just commented on how they are cheaper to buy from Chi O Creations. I think she thought Chi O's were buying them but I suspect other people buy them too.
I try to buy them but once they get over $60.00 - I'd go broke! Let me know what you hear from the chapter visitor.

PS- thank you dzrose93 for the update!
