Osram 66240 CBI - do these look genuine?

Hey all. I'm after some 66240 CBI to replace my very aged OEM bulbs. I came across a listing for them at a very good price - the seller seems to have a good reputation, and does seem to sell genuine parts. Given the price, though, I'm a bit leery.

Here's the listing:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-NEW-OSRA...b5f4bb&vxp=mtr

Given that they go for as high as $95 for a single bulb, it's almost too good to be true. The base markings seem to match TheRetrofitSource's photos, but obviously not all sides are visible.

There's several dubious Russian listings for $109ish, then this, from a US seller:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-PAIR-2X-...59bc14&vxp=mtr

How suspicious are either of these to all of you?

It would appear they don't have any 66240 CBI in stock.

You can get D2S bulbs for like $10 on Amazon. Lots of positive reviews too.

I was sent what appeared to be fake bulbs from Amazon so I sent it in for a refund. When asked where they got their bulbs from, their response was something like "We only carry genuine bulbs". Fishy.
