I won one of their spin the wheel things and got 3 items of my choosing for $0.01 a piece. The list of items to choose from includes like, $100+ LiFePO batteries, inverters, shit like that, all for $0.01.

I know that it’s a myth that Chinese products are shit quality: $0.03 (plus shipping I’m assuming) for potentially a couple hundred dollars’ worth of stuff just isn’t believable to me.

There's lots of shit-quality Chinese products mate

But the myth is that something being made in China automatically makes it shitty, not that China can produce shitty things.
