I dunno, I like it that your username is "lucky". :D
I have purchased some VERY dodgy power supplies from china on ebay. I
mean firehazard dodgy. Now I only buy them from reputable sellers. I
figure it will save me the house fire.
Of course, there is always the classic "fake chinese capacitors" pic:

I think you will find it is all subsidised in china, how else are they

Seriously though you will be buying EXACTLY the same component (with
exceptions of course) look on any item you have it will generally say
'made in China'. I do a fair amount of buying/selling mostly via ebay
I have many a time purchased something from a UK shop/store and
dismantled it (love pulling things apart, started when I was little
haha) they have always been the same product that we can but direct at
90% less. Caveat to that is there is some very 'dodgy' products/
quality but they are still the same as we buy in the shops ,HDMI
cables being an example.
Another good example is mobile phones, you can iphone clones or any
other brand that usually are made in the same factory or using the
same parts.
The mark-up by the time it gets to the store is ridiculous, (iphone
being a good example) which is why China is becoming market leader not
just because they have cheap labour, and yes I'm constantly amazed
when I can buy something for 99p& free postage (50p once) take out
ebay's AND paypal's fees!
On eBay, does anybody know how a seller in China can sell me an item
for £1 and give free postage, and it is as good as something i buy
from a store here for £9.99 ?
