This seller looks iffy selling nanoVNA's


 


and they are selling 3d printers for the same price, delivered. I really don't think so. I will give this one a miss.


 

This seller is currently away. Hmmmmm


 

When did non-gekko white nanoVNA first appear?


 

I share your opinion of this seller; they seem to be giving away their items. Too good to believe.

Cheaper one is also available, less sales but 100% good feedback. Also WW free shipping. Interesting

Someone said these $17 NanoVNAs are probably factory rejects (hopefully only for a cosmetic blemish, e.g. a silk-screening error).

All I know is that the tracking number given to me for China post is
invalid. EBay says the label has been created, but certainly nothing has
moved. I am 99.99% sure that the $22 one I bought will never arrive, but I
am not fussed about it. I know that I will eventually get my $22 back.

I would have kicked myself had I not bought one, and they turned out to be
genuine, but I don¡¯t think they will be.

Why would anyone buy any other than from Hugen? Support the one doing the research and dev work.


 

Hi S Johnson,
bear in mind that there are multiple parties doing research and dev work;
edy555 who made the original NanoVNA, hugen who made the version that got
copied widely, and even the teams doing NanoVNA-F and the
as-yet-to-be-named "NanoVNA V2" - not to mention the people working on cal
kits, software, test boards etc.

The other obvious answer is: Price. ;-)

/?was told by a seller, when i asked about? the item showing up well before the projected date, and with/

/NO tracking information EVER, that he has to provide eBay with a tracking number to get paid. And so,

/everybody essentially gets a WRONG NUMBER. Maybe somebody can do a more in-depth search./

/I've ordered maybe 200-300 time direct and had virtually NO trouble other than some long times./

Good point Rune. I prefer to support folks doing the work to move things forward. So, if there was a ¡°Credits¡± page in Github or other central place that listed (like you have done in this thread) the major contributors that would help me and maybe others focus our Paypal payments. I know alot of the major contributors are actually not doing it for money, rather love of the topic, and for them being credited may simply warm their hearts or direct good karma.
