Have you ever wondered if you don’t pay too much for the gadgets, that could be bought easily right from the manufacturer?
I have. And I found out, that there is a number of chinese internet shops that offer chipsets, RAMs and even cell-phones made in China (Taiwan actually).

The other day I have ordered SD RAM from them for $2.78 for my Garmin Nuvi GPS navigation. The order came upon the payment in three days. With free shipping!

What may seem like a trouble for sellers is actually a huge advantage for us – buyers. And if you are living in European Union, you are not supposed to pay taxes and customs for goods, which absolute value is less than 150€.

You can check these, that sell worldwide (I bough mine gadgets on dealextreme):

PS: I wouldn’t recommend buying chinese mobile-phones and timepieces.
