Hougen on Amazon

[RonL]

Was on Amazon and for the hell of it searched for magnetic base drills.
An Amazon choice came up as a Hougen 904 swivel base drill.
Even though it was listed as Hougen, underneath under brand it was listed as Mingtawn.
It was listed as 115 volt but underneath it was also listed as fuel power.
The seller was hoot.
This was listed as an Amazon Choice iten and had a number of extended warranty choices.
The whole thing seemed bizarre.
I am less and less inclined to buy anything on Amazon unless it is a generic item that I need right away.

Zamazom is definitely a dumping ground for Chinese shit. Seller XYZSCAM will be selling an identical product to seller ABCSCAM both with one or two "generic" ratings then they will both be gone in weeks. Sure, you can get your money back as zamazom will "eat" the loss but they should just ban such companies from selling in the first place...

I believe in many cases they do, but the very next minute they simply register a new account as "XYZSCAM1".
