Basically Amazon stole product designs with high profit margins and undercut the sellers with lower prices and placing their own brands higher in the search results -- driving sellers out of business. There must be an anti-trust law against this......!

And don't forget those reports of AmazonBasics branded products catching fire and having other safety issues. Even if the top results for what you're looking for are lower cost Amazon products, for a few shekels more you can probably get a safer product.

those made in Chy-na?

Yeah definitely. Amazon isn't just eating the cost on their cheap products, they're probably just getting even lower quality shit than the rest of the cheap electronics you can find on there (also Made in China).

They're not that much cheaper than competing brands. All they're doing is rebranding something that's made in the same factory in China. Maybe shaving some pennies and making it back on volume. It's branded for people who like that brand.

Everything is made in China. Especially when it comes to electronics. You are still better off trying to pay a bit more for quality.

Though, personally, all the Amazon Basics stuff has worked fine for me.
