Wow.  That's just cheapass.  And maybe dangerous.

Grasshopper:
I'm not buying it. That's almost certainly a fake.

It would probably cost more to manufacture a small capacitor plus a fake empty big one than just a genuine big one. They're not made of expensive materials.

Even if it does save a tiny amount of money, why put markings on the small capacitor?

Not in a place where tooling is far far more expensive than labor.  Apply Chinese or Mexican scale economics rather than American.

Because the small cap was made by someone else.

SithMaster:
Another reason not to buy anything from them.

i think i agree with grasshopper. chad, it seems to me that to build them like that would take a lot more time. and whatever the cost of tooling vs labour, time is the killer in a factory...
