It might look the same but most of the time it's not. Housing, inter part, etc. are change out to make it cheeper

This can be true.

However, it is also possible it IS THE SAME ITEM.

What happens is a USA company contracts with CheapoChina LTD. to make an item. They provide all the necessary drawings, material, specs, heck even the CAD program and tell them to make 50,000 items. So CheapoChina tools up and runs two shifts for three months and ships the 50,000 items to the USA company. BUT, during the third shift, that factory is still churning out that same, exact item with CheapoChina's labeling.

USA firm doesn't know this, but by the time they figure it out, that CheapoChina firm has changed names, maybe even factory location, and the game starts all over again.
