Thanks for sharing your experience. It is hard to tell scam from legit sometimes.

I think I will purchase via escrow, so the money is held in trust by a third party until the goods are shipped. Even that has its potential drawbacks (the scammer can ship me anything and lie on the paperwork) but it seems a little safer than paying via PayPal or wire transfer.

I don't know. I feel like you would have to get a job working in a factory that manufactures them. Those companies probably profit so much. Don't foresee them selling in bulk without it costing them profits.
