I try to avoid the keyboard mash sellers on Amazon but for some products it’s pretty much impossible to find anything else.

Oddly enough the keyboard mash sellers can be great value depending on the item you're ordering. Basically any kind of components or anything that would realistically be purchased by another factory in China has a pretty decent chance of being good enough quality. Hand tools or individual components for making stuff for example are pretty safe bets
