Chinese Ebay Merchants
How do these guys make any money?  I just ordered a psp1000 analog stick with black nub a screw driver and a pry tool to pop off the nub for $2.66 US dollars!

Shipping from Hong Kong to USA has to cost more than that not to mention the price of the 4 items.

Incredible, and I'm happy because i get $15 for the item and installing it :D

yeah... hong kong sellers are crazy cheap.... managed to find a 10 pack of tri-wing screwdrivers for something stupidly cheap like £3.... sooo tempting.

RE: Chinese Ebay Merchants
Chinese stuff is crazy cheap.  It's why like 80% (or more) of these sorts of products sold here are imported from China.  Cept when you buy off eBay you don't pay the premiums local retailers add.

extremely cheap labour > abuse human power > no automated machines > poo poo material (you get worse quality plastic for example) > no tax on ebay? (i don't use it so I'm not sure, gov tax i mean).
