My philosophy is:  if a part works well enough for my purposes, it is genuine enough!  :D

Building a test setup for checking 555s is a total loss for a professional EE. Even worse if you need to check every single part.

I remember buying a minimal ADS1256 board from amazon to do some test. This was about € 40. It took me more than an hour to remove problems i found by visual inspection, lucky enough before applying power. Discarding faulty boards at amazon. Wrote a negative report at amazon. The offer disappeared, yet now the identical board is offered by somebody else for € 121. Won't buy, though.

Regards, Dieter

PS: The € 120 offer is for three pieces, so they can't setup a new offer for each unit sold but for each three sold units.

In which case - it would not work well enough for my purposes!  :D

There is a difference between taking calculated risks and being reckless.

Saying if it works for you = genuine enough is already reckless to begin with. Nowhere near to calculated risks.
