I went to L.A. to the massive importer area. We scoured for bargains. Stuff that is never checked in Red China but palletized and shipped.
I came across a pallet of clothes irons. Make offer. I stripped one of the irons down. Through transparent epoxy I saw 80 pins sticking through holes that were soldered. Impossible to fix. I bid $3 on the pallet and won. I stripped all 96 irons of their nice 9 foot 15 gauge gray silicone power plugs the rest went into a dumpster. The Chinese do not test or inspect anything. Eduardo scored big on ceiling fans that had untapped motor flange holes. He bid $30 for 24 wood paddle fans with remotes.
