So you got very cheap parts (cheaper than Microchip even sells in bulk), they do not even have the right logo, and you still wondering why other places are selling them for more money? Welcome to the new world economy - where counterfeit parts are the norm. But honestly, you're buying from a less than reputable source at prices you know are somewhat unreal; you already knew what you were getting - you are now just confirming it.
