Never bought anything online from 3rd party vendors except for a couple of under $10 trivial items. Don't mind buying from known entities like Performance Cycle or Jenson or from Amazon if it's directly "fulfilled by Amazon."

If you're buying direct from China and the price is "too good to be true", well, hey ... No different than women who think they are getting a genuine Prada or Louis Vitton bag for $200 from China.
