    | What about that it has no brand name? Would you buy it for a backup

    Aitaton. I looked at their site. They seem to only
    sell cables. I think what you've got there is a James
    Bond secret GPS unit and hard disk for copying spy
    secrets, camouflaged as a cigarette lighter. If the
    lighter works I'd say it's worth 50 bucks. :)

    The distinction can be important, as the return policies vary.
    That said, I haven't had trouble with 3rd party sellers on Amazon.
    Sellers on Ebay can be "sneakier" however.

    I have occasionally has problems with Amazon orders

    On Friday I ordered an item, they said it would be delivered on Monday
    which was fine, I had taken the free delivery rather than pay for fast delivery. Today I was out, when I returned home I saw a card in the letterbox, they'd delivered it early (as they do about one time in
    three) and left it behind a plant in my front garden ... thankfully it
    was dry.
