Economic crisis and 'new entrepreneurs

With the onset of the global economic crisis, there have been many people who have decided to take advantage of this situation. This situation has also affected automotive diagnostic equipment. The "new entrepreneurs" (let's call them that in this article) began to stack wealth from counterfeits. However, maybe these goods are good and high quality, and their operation is cheap? In this article, we will examine: how things are going, what quality “new entrepreneurs” offer, what kind of service is waiting for you and what kind of product you are buying.

How is everything going?

Often people try to save money and do not choose official stores, but look for the necessary equipment in "markets", online advertisements. However, can't we see a paradox here: when a person who has saved several tens of litas loses several hundred. 

In the last 3 months, Baltic Diagnostic Service (BDS.lt) has received as many as 5 complaints that they have been deceived, that these are cheap equipment dealers, so our team decided to check the "myths" and took the initiative, the main goal was to find out how such dealers work and what the product can be purchased in advertisements. 2 suitable advertisements were found, the first one was contacted and it was agreed to meet at one gas station in Kaunas. Upon meeting, the product, which was praised by an experienced eye, immediately turned out to be of poor quality, but the essence of the investigation was to test it. Once the equipment was purchased (for a good price for such equipment) it had to be tried. At first, everything looked good apart from the fact that it didn't connect to all the "blocks" and worked slowly, but we specifically connected the equipment to several models in a row, connecting only 4 cars maybe 15 times in a row, the equipment simply broke down. It was decided to contact the seller. But ... Desperate ... I just heard on the phone, "The contact can't be reached." Apparently such "new entrepreneurs" change phone numbers often? We bought the second equipment from an unclear website, we will not publish the name of the website due to anti-advertising reasons, we transferred the money online, the account and the will shipment arrived! The only problem is that it was not working right away, we called the seller 3 times, we tried to talk pleasantly, to reach a compromise, but it was not possible to reach it. We were strictly offered to send the equipment to China for handling ourselves. It is funny when the value of the equipment itself is 109 LT, and the shipping price is only ~ 60 LT, and the shipping would take about a month, then its handling and returning, plus import duties, the conclusions seem clear.

            Market traders operate in one way or another. We have proven that you save money by buying, but do not receive any service: the product is of poor quality, usually a counterfeit, which is not covered by any warranty, because the seller simply disappears into the water or offers a warranty in China. will not provide useful information because they often do not even understand what they are selling - this is natural when a person has no qualifications.
