Those could either be people selling military issue MRE's or one of many imitation brands. Sometimes its hard to tell and you have no real way of knowing the expiration date, etc. IMO, if you can afford it, the best option would be to buy the "civilian" version MRE's from one of the four companies that makes them for the military. That way you have a basic quality and expiration date gurantee.
Here's a good website with information on MRE's.

Fortunately, around 2005, the civilian MRE market picked back up and more companies began producing legitimate, branded civilian MREs. All three of the major manufacturers of MREs for the military (Ameriqual, Sopakco, Wornick) now produce their own civilian MRE, too. Additionally, International Meals Supply, a certified supplier of emergency rations for the Department of Defense, has joined the civilian MRE race with their new "MREStar" product.
