Default buying catalytic converter on Ebay

I posted this in the exhaust section, but thought I might have better luck here. I need to replace my catalytic converters and there's a company who sells on Ebay called Exhaust Distribution. The will sell OE cats for $174.00 a side plus shipping. Here's a link to one of their items:

Sounds like a good price, but want to know if this is quality stuff. thanks!

Just a note: make sure to bring your old cat after replacement to your junk yard (call several in your area).
I replaced my 2 main cats (with straight pipes) on my 2.7T. Was quoted $28/ea from one, but fetched $70/ea from the next yard!
Effectively paid for the 2 new flex pipes and material/bending/welding of the straight pipes.
On the other hand, I only fetched $10 for the nearly 2 pounds of material from the gutted pre cats.
