Q: I have seen other auctions from other vendors for a higher / lower price, what's the difference ?Ī: Usually the price and the quality - Since our Interfaces are assembled and tested to the highest quality standards, It's up to you (the customer) to compare price, product and terms and make your decision according to that.
