At $28 with an optical slave built in, seems like a great deal.

I read an article that the Amazon basics are the result of Data mining.
they track top selling products, creates their own clone of sorts. Under cut their resellers and takes the market internal.
Interesting biz model if that is true.

Very interesting indeed, for someone in a tight budget like myself
Thank you.

@socrdude, I believe you are referring to this story >> AmazonBasics is copying all the best products on Amazon and selling them for less - Geek.com.

Definitely interesting but I kind of balk at using Amazon. Guess I am one of those tin foil hat "crazies" that always viewed social media and such with intense suspicion.

I find the business model very clever and smart on their part if true. I am not familiar with Geek.com, but then, I do not rely on my memory for these trivia things. Maybe something I read while waiting for a flight somewhere for work.
