Are used/refurbished Cisco network modules safe to buy?

I'm looking to connect two 3850 switches through fiber. I got some SFP+ modules from FS.COM and I consider acquiring two used 10G network modules (C3850-NM-2-10G=) over ebay on Amazon. Price difference is huge.

What are my risks here? Is it common for stolen equipment to be sold like this? Can I check for the module info with a serial number? Are my support contracts at risk by using a module not bought from a Cisco partner?
