    So my question is....are the Ebay PC From Pakistan worth $140? ( I know you get what you pay for......but lets face it we all know a lot of these are getting shipped to Scotland then sent to the US....Thought?

    For starters-

    You've sort of put your thumb right on the nub of this issue (Pakistani Makers)-
    It's one thing to deal with a reliable US/UK vendor who sells goods made in Pakistan (Stillwater Kilts, a vendor here)
    but buying from Pakistan directly is a complete and utter crapshoot. You don't know if a given maker's pictures
    are even of their own product, much less what the quality will be when your item arrives (or in some cases, if it EVER arrives).

    Looking at their feedback they seem to have a pretty good, if short, track record.

    The other issue you might wish to enquire with them about is shipping. IF they ship FedEx or UPS you might get hit with upwards
    of $50 in 'brokerage fees'.
