       I recently bought a fan. You know, because it's hot.I really wanted something decent, so I spent 3 hours researching the market, tracking down whitelabel products and their resellers, checking brand websites and "data sheets". I queried trade registers to find out from where and for how long they have been operating and which brands belong to them. I also used the internet archive to trace supplier changes over time.This is completely normal, right?I call it "FOBC""fear of buying crap"

       @fell Same here. Crap has a high cost. First the landfill, then replacing it, then the time.Cheap products can cost many times their purchase price.
