Default Chips on Ebay

Out of curiosity, I looked up performance chips on ebay. There are a lot of so-called chips that claim to add up to 40 hp. Problem is, these chips go for only 3-20 dollars. I'm not totally familiar with how chips work or how they're programmed, but this sounds like a scam to me. Anyone have any thoughts?

The posts look real professional too.. I like the blink tags and use of color. Looks like a 3 year old did the HTML.
