What's the deal with electronics from China?? - Toyota Yaris Forums

This is basic economics actually. Cheaper labor means cheaper products for you. the Chinese generally sell their product cheaper to the American market than they will their own. also cheaper than anyone can possibly compete with here. in the import export world this is called "Dumping." however I don't think that this counts.

I would go for it. most higher end products are just re-branded Chinese stuff.

Hey thanks man. I'm actually happy with the responses I've gotten so far. All two of them...hahaha. Even if it's a dud then at least I'll know and can just replace it with a 100 dollar cd deck.

You have seen how great of a job the Chinese market has done in exporting dog food, children's toys, tooth paste, etc...I see absolutely no reason why you shouldn't buy the cheapest products the Reds are willing to ship over...

In other words, don't eat, or eat off of your stereo.

I dunno Death...

What if you have to return it? They'll give a cheap rate to ship to you, but what about the cost of shipping back to China? Or calling them to straighten things out?

Also, since you are looking for pretty, think of the effect on your beauty! The severe frowny-face brought on by defective Chinese electronics is NOT gonna be attractive.
