Default what is the deal on all the cheap chips on Ebay

Is this an April Fools thing? Pages upon pages of 4 or 5 different plug in chips that are anything from 50-200 hp gains and 20+ mpg. I never have seen this before and there are pages of them. How can you get (even) 10 hp for 27.99. Why would the manufacturers be using something to help there "cafe" standards?
I bought a CAI last year and think it was a waste of money. Made my truck a little noisy and no perceivable difference.

Yeah I bought one years ago and this guy was claiming to be a electrical engineer student and programming these for side money. I bought one and it never did anything. I also asked him what he was using to program them and how he was doing it (because I am electrical) and he never responded back. Bottom line, dont waste your money.

They are all junk. The amazing part is that people keep buying them.

If there was such a magical power chip out there, don't you think the auto companies would already have patented and started using it? Talk about getting a lock on the competition......
