"And to the cheap people, I'd rather buy shit from Ebay than to give these guys any of my hard earned coin."
But that's the problem. It just happens that Z1 sells some similar knock-off stuff to what you buy on eBay. Either way, in buying cheap parts from WHEREVER, your money isn't going to support the innovators who spend the time to develop a quality and therefore not "cheap" product.
I understand the desire for cheap. But I've also experienced and heard stories of WHY cheap is cheap. So oftentimes these days I just won't buy a thing at all if I can't afford the quality version.
