This is the most convoluted thing I've had to think through in awhile.

Jeez. Honestly, I mostly ignore reviews on Chinese listing sites unless they're low. It's all about two things:

1. Is the price in line with other listings? From both directions?

2. How many people have ordered it in the past 90 days?

Sometimes that does mean taking a risk with specialty items, or foregoing them. But hey, if it's a critical application I'm not going to source it from sketchy international cheap-o listings.
