So just for fun, I searched for “watchamaycallit” on eBay. It found over 200 results for “whatchamacallit”!!!

Also these are normally sold as ‘new’, but they are actually tarted up used / secondhand / preowned “pulls”. So that alone is fraud.

Well, being sold as new certainly would be fraud, but I'm not sure you're correct that they're "normally" sold that way. I just checked the first eight results for each of "6502" and "R65C02" searches on AliExpress, and not one of them claimed that the parts were new.

I don’t use AliExpress much, so can’t comment on that marketplace, but certainly on eBay the number of listings for “new” or “brand new” outnumber any other category, for example this search.
