As long as you clearly indicate that the items are not for use on anything more important than a BB acceleration device you can be morally clean in the transaction, well, except for the product/intellectual property infringement side of the deal. The items you acquired with noble intention provide money to people that have no qualms with providing substandard items to the consumer by ripping off a real company that pushed money and time into development and research. Copying that item (poorly) is robbing from that manufacturer's R&D money, marketing costs, and consumer confidence.
I see that WasatchAR sent you a PM, though FJB is silent on this issue. Both of these members work for the company your items' manufacturer is stealing from. They are both gentlemen and seem to be avoiding getting drawn into this. Bravo to them, it speaks volumes as to their professionalism.
You indicate that you will not be on here again, and while I will not mourn the loss of this thread (I don't see it lasting long) you are depriving yourself of a wealth of information from experienced and honorable members that are more than happy to share with all. Hopefully your unfortunate enterprise does not impede your desire to learn.
All the best.
