Can't beat that price, no way, no how!!! These things are made in China and are being sold directly through Amazon by a Chinese Seller.
I remember my the first time I bought a bunch of lighted 20A rocker switches for some projects directly through ebay from a Chinese retailer. I think I paid something like $3.42 (including shipping) for 10 of them. I couldn't even buy one at that price in the local stores. Of course I had to wait weeks for the ship to arrive at the port!
American companies are hell bent on making us pay top dollar for items sourced from China, sometimes up to a 1000% markup, mainly because they are very greedy! That's capitalism for you!
As a member of that capitalist society you have the right to buy whatever you want from wherever you want, including China. Again, that's capitalism for you. It works both ways!!
Glad you found such a great deal on Amazon. From what I understand, over 50% of Amazon sellers are Chinese. They work out special deals with Amazon to get their products listed as first selections and have them displayed many times to get you to buy from them. Amazon stocks the products so you don't have to wait long to get them.
