True Jerry but this is what most of the CN sites do. Not condoning it and yes it is dishonest, however Im just saying people should be aware of what they are buying. If you have a 5 W laser advertised on a CN site for half the price of the diode alone, dont be surprised when you get a < 1 W laser...Most people couldn't tell the difference anyway and thats what they prey on. Those that do, would have to post the item back to CN at their cost and with tracking (or it will never arrive...) to get a PP refund and this makes it often too expensive for people to do.
Basically as stated before, all these CN sites are buyer beware. Inform yourself first about what you are buying and check to see whether the item is commonly reproduced. I was looking at a
https://www.amazon.com/Mitutoyo-500...spons&keywords=mitutoyo+digital+caliper&psc=1 a while back and found out that there are many knock-off products everywhere, including I might add
at Banggood. The original item costs around $ 100 and the cheap ones around $ 30. In such an instance I would never buy this caliper from a CN site as you are almost guaranteed of receiving a fake. I hasten to add that you could theoretically get a fake from Amazon as well, as identical products from all sellers are kept in the same bins and amazon just gets one out to fulfil an order.
Thankfully returning to Amazon, isnt usually a problem!
Banggood is however good for certain things, as is Fasttech etc. If you want cheap hosts, or components, leds and even their range of Eachine products they are good.:beer:
