Cheap goods at station: buy or pass?
I’m thinking of buying a new suitcase and saw this vendor at a station. of course, discount looks too good to be true so I looked up the brand online and I can’t find much. Amazon brought up a similar brand with the same “original cost discounted to a (probably permanently) super-low price” shtick.
Made in China, maybe a drop shipping company I thought and they’ve been sitting there for a few days.
Anyone have any good experiences buying these or should I follow my gut and pass?
*edit: ok thanks everyone, you all gave me some extra insight that I was also seeking out. I am looking for something I can use more than once so this will get a hard pass.
The worker was trying to entice me by saying “pick it up!! Isn’t it so light??” But it felt like cheap plastic light, not solid construction materials light; I even have a clamshell American Tourister that has taken a hell of a beating but still going a decade later. Even looks like it got thrown off a plane.
These felt like if they lightly pushed over, they‘ll shatter.
