way off-base, I had not gone to the Directron page

sorry
no knowledge of this one at all

I would take exception to your rant against Directron
no reseller warranties a product wrt its 'fittness for service'
this is the warranty of merchantibility, and is borne by the manufacturer

you presume expertise where perhaps none exists,
and volume discounters arn't much good at hand-holding;
if people express an interest, they stock it
if problems and/or low interest, it goes on their discount table
-> really cheap, and AS IS

be reasonable (from me ?, must be a joke that)
can't/won't be lowest price AND best service
