Night heater parts

Explain this....

I'm really only comparing the cost of the casings, the innards of the latter could be a FOC addition!

This is advertised for £129.75 on eBay 291094304136 | eBay

But this is advertised for £100.84 (£28.91 less) on eBay 163687483643 | eBay

So the Chinese can make things for less cost but do the British(?) made items really cost so much more?

Crazy isn't it. Must take a couple of hours I guess to make that box, plus materials plus other overheads.
The undercounted price is taking the p1$$ mind.

I’d I may chip in with my tuppence worth (and I am not an engineer) but I would favour the quality of steel etc from a British company over that of Chinese

Quite probably but if you take into account the other parts supplied with the Chinese offering did their case cost any more than a fiver?
It's almost impossible to comprehend how they can manufacture these things and ship them to Europe for anywhere near the prices that they do!
