For 100-200 dollars for a minimum buy of 10. It would seem worth while to do a mini group buy to find out. As for a quality assurance thing. The original design and plans and maybe first prototype come first batch of a particular product could have been made is said country, albeit japan or Germany, but like all growing business it's hard to beat the manufacturing costs that will see the product then be produced in china. So long as it meets a minimal quality assurance scheme, the end user will be none thd wiser where it's made. So long as It says genuine product of japan or Germany for example. It's all they care about. You whinge about the possibility the Chinese built product will fail in 6-12 months. What's to sa a genuine product of Germany or japan can't and won't fail in the same time period. I'm skeptical about Chinese products too. But not all can be bad. The price certainly dictates whether to try it or not.
