Title: Garbage Chinese Products
Post by: CaptainKirk on Fri, 12 March 2010, 03:50:33

In 2006 I wanted a multi-card reader for my digital camera. I found one with a USB hub for $1.98 online in China. Shipping IIRC was around $13.00. I threw in a $5 USB vacuum to make it an even $20. The vacuum wasn't worth more than 25 cents, but the USB hub/card reader for 2 bucks has been working perfectly for four years.

So some of their stuff does work. :)

YMMV however ;)

i went to a place in China called Shenzen, funny how when you are there the products are 5 times the price on ebay (but of course no shipping)
How long until Ebay fixes this rort!

Yes, SOME does work, including my card reader. :)
