Default Did I get a bargain or a Dud ?

I spotted this and ordered it last week
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6404943086.html



It has left Chinese customs and is on it's way to the UK, the seller has since closed his aliexpress shop.

Will it be xmas or will I get a box with a bracket and cable but not much else, can't wait to find out.

cheers

There were 64 bought before I hit the button, the box weight and size seems to match, I'll photo the un-boxing if anything arrives so we can all have a laugh!

just like the video camera in a sealed box you buy from the car boot at the back of the high street and when you get it home and open it.... it's a can of beans...

Years ago whilst I was at work the wife went to a bargain sale in Cheltenham and paid £75 for a 26 inch colour television. When I got home I hit the roof, It had no makers name on the carcass, no warranty the only indication of its parentage was the remote which had a Ferguson code. 12 years later with it still working perfectly, we left it for the young couple who bought our house.
