this run of ads has put me off chinese stuff

[blackolive (Ste)]

so this is how the pile em high sell em cheap brigade work. look at the new price then the job lots of knackered returns. I would bin them rather than try and sell them on and damage their rep. wonder how quickly they broke. I have a possibly paranoid theory that anything chinese with electronics in it is built to counterfeit standards.

To be fair, we don't know what proportion of their sales this represents, although their stuff doesn't have a glowing reputation on here.

However, three plasma/arc/tig sets, with possibly the same fault (so can't swap bits) and which the importer has given up on, and almost certainly no service data provided, doesn't seem like much of a prospect.

Thats hilarious - the auctions mention 'Quality' and 'Top of the range' and sold as 'for parts or not working '

If that was me I'd have two ebay accounts, one to sell the new kit and another one to sell all the returned/broken stuff...
