Does anyone know how this place makes any profit?! For example, they
are selling a USB-bluetooth adaptor for US $2.46. Also, a USB SD card
reader for $1.03. Looking over their prices on more substantial items,
I think those are more in line with typical prices, so I would guess
that they make all their money from the items which cost more than $10
and the rest are loss leaders. It just seems to me that people are
much more likely to buy lots of the trinkets from a place like this
rather than trust them when buying a $100 digital camera.
