If you need to ask, "Is it fake?" You don't know what you are doing (in Shenzhen). The answer is always, yes, whether the vendor admits to it or not. Of all the questions you can ask and hope to receive a truthful answer, that's not of them. (And, btw, neither is any question about tempco or tolerance.)

Looks like a great tool if you ever go shopping in Shenzhen.

I've been to electronics markets in Beijing and have noticed a lot can get lost in translation.

This could form the basis of a really cool vacation...

It was (did a lot of other parts as well).

I would do it again in a second but it is absolutely necessary that you have a guide.

Everything was really cheap when I was there (8 yuan was €1, now it's even cheaper with their terrible stock market). For reference: a full meal at Burger King was 12 yuan if you went at the right time at noon. That's €1.5 or $2 for a full meal. Combine that with giant bowls of instant noodles on the night train and you can imagine I gained some weight.

They have entire building blocks full of stores. You'd have a floor where all the stalls sell computer parts, a floor where all stalls sells cellphones, ...

China is a great country with a lot of cultural heritage.
