Message I do not sell new Nissan MAF's.
The original MAF sensor is extremely good quality and they almost never fail, because of this I always recommend and sell used MAF's.
A new Nissan Sensor is well over $500 and used are much less.
People have used MAF's on their car when they add another one, so adding one new and keeping an old sensor has little logic, and people are not springing $1000+ for two new sensors.

I have some experience with cheap new meter's, as folks have come in for tunes with these new meters they paid under $200 for, and all of them have been worthless.
The reason I do not like new meters, is it is hard to know what your getting as the fakes continually get better.
So far I have not seen one good new sensor that folks have come in with, It is probably because they are all buying what they think is a deal, and they are not really getting a new Nissan sensor or spending $500+.
Many fakes are out there and more than a couple companies are making them.
As they get exposed they get more creative about making them look real.

I personally only sell used and I do not think it is worth it to pay $500 plus for a new one.
If you paid less than $500 I would assume it is a fake.
If you paid more than $500 you could have a good *real* new Maf or you could have been *really* taken.

If you really want new, and are going to spend over $500, I would only buy it from a Nissan dealer.
