Today I found out about a German electronics brand named Hama, but I haven’t heard anyone ever mention/recommend it to replace American products… so is this brand just unknown or is something wrong with it?

    Hama makes expensive packaging for cheap Chinese products.

    Furthermore, they buy exclusive shelf space at major retailers so that their products can be sold way above cost because they are the only ones available.

      Somehow they buy the cheapest crap available and sell it still relatively cheap (compared to the stuff that works). But it’s still not worth even half of that. I had no idea Hama was “German” but it was on top of my list of “Never buy that crap” brands.
