What does 'OEM iPods - Made in China' mean?

I have a supplier in China that says he has New iPod 1GB Nanos for $75. I asked him if they were actual iPods or fakes and this was his response:

'Hello, Brand New iPod Nanos, Not Original in US, but OEM Made in China.
Thanks.'

So, is that another way of calling them fakes? I'm assuming that's what he meant by it.

Thanks.

Yes that is correct :)

lol, sounds that way.

Yes meaning high chance of getting confiscated by customs agents. :shock:

I thought $75 for a new iPod Nano was too good to be true. It's a good thing I contacted the seller and asked. Their auction claimed them to be actual iPod Nanos. Thanks guys.

You would be lucky if it made it to customs! Stuff like that which even looks the same can get you arrested! Good thing you didn't buy them!
