   > A manufacturer here in Sydney ( Jands Electronics) made a "pre-production"   
   batch of a new model power amplifier for professional use.   
   > They wisely chose to road test it in the expected environment - on the road   
   with live bands.   
   > They proved to be problematic in several respects and the design was heavily   
   revised for the production version.   
   > The sample amps were fully labelled with the maker's logo and the same model   
   number as the later versions.   
   > Think there were about 20 of them, put into storage for eventual disposal.   
   >   
   > Then an enterprising staff member obtained them and decided he could sell   
   them all to a local second hand dealer - letting him believe they were just   
   like the regular models on sale at the time - but for a very low price so   
   giving him a large mark up.

   Sounds like many of the components comming out of China on ebay. Others   
   they must relable junk parts to company logos.
