Many cheap vendors in china are selling qc rejects. The original buyer rejects
the lot, but the factory sells them  to someone else. The second buyer might,
or might not, do any thing about identifying the defective pieces, and repair
or discard them. Get stuff from a good seller, and you get a good deal; get a
bad one, you get crap.
