A broker offered me a part yesterday at a third of the going rate with paperwork that did not trace. I said no and reported it. Unapproved parts are not a pricing question, they are a fatality with a delay built in. If a deal on a rotable feels too good, it is not a deal, it is somebody else's problem being sold to you.

Reported it is the right answer and takes a spine when the part would have solved your afternoon. Good.

We have an operator in our region who got burned by exactly this and it cost them their certificate for four months.
