Recently I asked about suggestions regarding a UPS. I
ended up getting an 875 VA 525 Watt "Geek Squad" model
from Best Buy - yeah, yeah, everyone says Geek Squad
stuff is overhyped junk, but at $69 on sale, the price
seemed right.

Seems like it is discontinued - not on their current store list.

The price is all wrong.

(1) Made in China, sold in the US
(2) House brand
(3) Close out

Nobody can build a decent product
with these specs for that price.

Best Buy is actually the high priced spread, compared to some of their
competition.

You cannot even buy the
components needed in decent quality for that price.

But that is unit one up individual component pricing which has a lot of
overhead in it.
